EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The French Take the China Gate in the Great Wall," transports us back in time to 1885 as we bear witness to a pivotal moment in the intersection of Chinese and Western history. Taken by an unknown photographer and now available through Mary Evans Picture Library, this image offers a unique perspective on the Second Opium War (1856-1860), a significant event in Sino-French relations. The Great Wall of China, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a symbol of Chinese strength and resilience, stands majestically in the background. The wall, stretching over 13,000 miles, has long been a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the Chinese people. However, in this photograph, we see a group of French soldiers, led by General Charles-Théophile Ferré, standing triumphantly at the China Gate, a strategic entry point into the wall. The Second Opium War, also known as the Arrow War, was a period of conflict between China and several Western powers, including France, over trade and territorial disputes. The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Tianjin, which granted France significant concessions, including the right to establish a legation in Beijing and the cession of several territories, including the Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories. This photograph, with its rich historical context, offers a glimpse into the complexities of international relations during this period. It serves as a reminder of the far-reaching impact of colonialism and the intricate web of cultural, political, and economic interactions that shaped the modern world. The image also highlights the significance of the Great Wall as a symbol of Chinese history and identity, even in the face of foreign invasion.
