Canton Guangzhou Kwangchow Occupants


EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910, depicts a traditional Flower Boat in the bustling waters of Guangzhou, China, then known as Canton or Kwangchow. The Flower Boats were an essential mode of transportation during this era, connecting the city with the Pearl River Delta and the South China Sea. The serene image showcases a family of four, dressed in traditional Chinese attire, aboard the boat. The father, wearing a long robe and a wide-brimmed hat, steers the boat with a calm expression, while his wife, wearing a flowing cheongsam, holds their young son and daughter. The children, dressed in colorful clothing, gaze curiously at the camera, capturing the innocence and joy of childhood. The Flower Boats were renowned for their vibrant decorations, adorned with blooming flowers, colorful lanterns, and intricate carvings. These boats were not only a means of transportation but also a symbol of prosperity and cultural heritage. The family's elegant attire and the beautifully decorated boat reflect their affluence and connection to their community. Guangzhou, a significant trading port, was a melting pot of diverse cultures during this period. The city's rich history and cultural exchange are evident in this photograph, which captures a moment in time, preserving the memories of a family's journey on the iconic Flower Boat.
