EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the capture of the Taku forts by a European fleet for the third time. Taken by an anonymous European photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases the aftermath of a fierce battle that unfolded in China. The Taku forts, located near present-day Tianjin, were strategic military strongholds guarding access to Beijing. The Chinese had previously managed to recapture these forts twice before succumbing to yet another defeat at the hands of European forces. The photograph is part of a private collection and was later featured as an illustration in "China of Today or The Yellow Peril" edited by Charles N Robinson. This publication shed light on the tense relations between China and Europe during this period, emphasizing fears surrounding what was referred to as "the yellow peril". Intriguingly, this image not only portrays historical significance but also serves as a reminder of Asia's complex past with Western powers. It symbolizes both triumph and crisis, showcasing how different cultures clashed during this era. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their Fine Art Finder collection. Its inclusion provides us with valuable insight into Chinese history while highlighting photography's ability to document pivotal moments that shape our understanding of global events.
