EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment when Chinese tribute money, valued at an impressive 750,000 dollars, arrived safely at the English mint in 1843. The silver, paid as indemnity under a recent treaty between China and England, was transported over long distances from China and brought to England aboard Queen Victoria's ship, the Columbine. The image shows the wagons carrying the precious cargo moving slowly under the watchful eyes of British soldiers from the 6th Foot. The soldiers, dressed in their red coats and bearskins, provide a formidable escort to ensure the safe delivery of the valuable silver to the mint. The solemnity of the occasion is palpable, with the soldiers maintaining a disciplined formation as they accompany the wagons. The Chinese silver, known as tribute money, was a significant symbol of China's recognition of British sovereignty and was used to pay for various expenses related to the British presence in China. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of diplomatic relations between China and England during the 19th century. The arrival of the Chinese silver at the English mint marked an important milestone in the economic and political relationship between the two nations.
