The image exudes an air of formality and diplomacy, showcasing the two men dressed in their traditional costumes. Taken from "The Harmsworth Magazine" in February 1901, this photograph offers a rare glimpse into the world of international politics during the turn of the century. Both Lord Salisbury and Li Hung Chang are depicted with direct gazes towards the camera, projecting confidence and authority. The contrast between their attire symbolizes not only their respective cultures but also highlights their roles as representatives of their nations. This visual metaphor underscores the importance placed on tradition and national identity during this era. As we observe these distinguished figures standing outdoors against an unknown backdrop, it becomes evident that this encounter was more than just a casual meeting; it was a diplomatic exchange between two powerful countries.

This intriguing photograph serves as a testament to the complexities of international relations during this period. It reminds us of how political leaders navigated through cultural differences while striving for mutual understanding and cooperation.
