EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph titled "A Shanghai Cab, c. 1875" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of China's largest city over a century ago. The image captures the essence of daily life during this era, showcasing an intriguing blend of tradition and modernity. In the foreground, we see a Chinese cab driver skillfully maneuvering his unique mode of transportation - a wheelbarrow-like contraption known as a Shanghai Cab. This unconventional vehicle is pulled by what appears to be an enormous hog or pig, adding an unexpected twist to the scene. The passenger inside the cab seems unfazed by this peculiar sight, casually smoking his pipe as he travels through the vibrant streets. The photograph offers us a glimpse into both cultural and technological aspects of 19th-century Shanghai. It highlights how traditional methods were still prevalent alongside emerging forms of transportation like taxis. The image also serves as a reminder that smoking was once considered commonplace in public spaces. Preserved with remarkable clarity despite its age, this historic print allows us to appreciate William Saunders' exceptional talent for capturing everyday moments with artistic flair. Through his lens, we are transported back in time and given insight into a world long gone but forever immortalized through photography.
