EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a poignant moment during the Boxer Rebellion in Tientsin, China, circa 1901. In the midst of relentless bombardment, Chinese Christian refugees find solace and protection within the walls of the Apostolic Mission, led by Father Quilloux. The image showcases a scene filled with both despair and hope. The weary faces of men, women, and children reflect the hardships they have endured as their city is torn apart by conflict. Yet amidst this chaos, Father Quilloux stands tall as a symbol of strength and compassion. As an American missionary in China at that time, Father Quilloux played a crucial role in providing sanctuary to those seeking refuge from violence. His efforts not only saved lives but also offered comfort to those who had lost everything. This photograph serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics at play during this period of rising imperialism. It highlights how religion can serve as both a source of unity for these displaced individuals and an avenue for foreign influence. Preserved through stereoscopic photography techniques, this image allows us to step back into history and witness firsthand the resilience displayed by these Chinese Christians amid turmoil. It stands as a testament to humanity's ability to find strength even in the darkest times.
