EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the Boxer Rebellion in China circa 1900. The image depicts a group of Chinese sailors diligently working together to haul a boat off a sandbank in a river during their journey to Beijing. British war artist Fred Whiting had the privilege of capturing this momentous event, and his sketch was later transformed into an exquisite piece by W. T. Maud. The scene is filled with raw determination and resilience as these Chinese sailors navigate through challenging waters. Their unwavering commitment to their mission is evident as they exert every ounce of strength to free their vessel from the clutches of the sandbank. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into the arduous nature of travel during that era, highlighting both the physical challenges faced by these sailors and their indomitable spirit. The historical significance of this photograph cannot be overstated, as it captures an important chapter in China's history - the Boxer Rebellion.

Preserved through time, this print allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its ability to transport us back in time.
