Lantern Slide of Little Orphan Island, Yangtse Kiang, China: A Glimpse into the Late 19th Century This lantern slide, titled "Little Orphan Island, Yangtse Kiang, China," offers a rare glimpse into the people and landscapes of Southern China during the late 19th century. The image, part of Box 159 from Pekin (now Beijing), slide no. 35, dates back to approximately the 1890s. The photograph captures the enchanting beauty of Little Orphan Island, a small islet located in the mighty Yangtse Kiang River. The island, with its lush greenery and serene waters, stands in stark contrast to the bustling activity on the riverbanks. The tranquility of the island is further accentuated by the traditional Chinese junks, their sails full, as they navigate the river. The Chinese people in this image, dressed in their traditional attire, are engaged in various activities along the riverbanks. Some are tending to their boats, while others are busy at work, perhaps preparing their daily meals or mending their nets. The scene is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and the resilient spirit of the Chinese people. The lantern slide, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, offers a unique perspective into the past. It invites us to explore the history and traditions of China during the late 19th century, a time of significant change and transformation. The image serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of China and its people, who continue to captivate the world with their history, culture, and resilience.
