EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910s, showcases the unique blend of ancient tradition and modern progression in Beijing, China. The image features a group of Bactrian camels, their hump-backed silhouettes contrasting against the towering city walls of Beijing. The camels, with their distinctive double humps and large panniers, were once a common sight on the streets of Beijing, used for transportation before the advent of motorized vehicles. The city walls, a symbol of China's rich history and heritage, loom in the background, their massive structure a testament to the defensive measures put in place to protect the capital city during turbulent times. The gates and pagodas atop the walls add an air of mystique and intrigue, drawing the viewer deeper into the scene. The photograph also captures the bustling activity at the city gates, with train tracks running alongside the walls and a train in the distance, signaling the arrival of modern transportation. The camel drivers, dressed in traditional Chinese clothing, can be seen carefully loading and unloading goods from the camels, their faces etched with determination and focus. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when Bactrian camels were a vital means of transportation in Beijing, and the city walls stood as a formidable fortification against external threats. It is a reminder of the city's rich history and its ability to adapt and evolve with the passage of time.
