This photograph, titled "Wheelbarrow transportation at the boat landing, Tientsin (Tianjin), China, 1901" offers a glimpse into the bustling city life of early 20th century China. Captured by renowned photographers Underwood & Underwood, this stereoscopic card showcases an everyday scene that tells a story of hard work and determination. In this monochrome image, we see a group of Chinese men engaged in their occupation as porters. With their strong physiques and unwavering focus, these individuals skillfully transport heavy loads using traditional wheelbarrows. The intricate details captured in this print allow us to appreciate the craftsmanship of these essential tools and the strength required to maneuver them through uneven terrain. The setting is Tianjin (formerly known as Tientsin), located on the banks of Hai River in northern China. This vibrant city served as a crucial trade hub during that era, attracting people from all walks of life seeking opportunities for employment and commerce. Through this photograph's lens, we witness not only the physical labor involved but also gain insight into the lives of these hardworking coolies who played an integral role in shaping Tianjin's economy. Their dedication to their profession is evident in every line etched on their faces. As we admire this stunning piece from The Print Collector collection curated by Heritage Images, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever - one that encapsulates both the resilience and spirit of those who labored tirelessly
