EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Citizen soldiers of the queen at Hong-Kong; Cavalry and artillery volunteers at Shanghai" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into China's rich history. Captured by an anonymous European photographer, this image showcases a pivotal moment in time. The photograph depicts a group of brave cavalrymen and artillery volunteers standing proudly in their uniforms. These citizen soldiers were part of the Queen's forces stationed in Hong Kong and Shanghai during a period marked by tension known as "The Yellow Peril". This historical context adds depth to the image, as it was featured in Charles N Robinson's book on China called "China of Today or The Yellow Peril". The composition beautifully captures the unity and strength within this combat unit. Each soldier exudes determination, ready to defend their homeland. Their presence symbolizes both Chinese resilience and international cooperation. As we observe this snapshot from over a century ago, we are transported to an era where Asia played a significant role on the global stage. It serves as a reminder that history is not confined to textbooks but lives through these powerful images. This remarkable print is now part of a private collection, preserved for future generations to appreciate its historical significance. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows art enthusiasts worldwide to delve into this chapter of Asian history captured through the lens of an unknown European photographer.
