EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Soldiers Dwelling" from the Boswell collection, offers a glimpse into the military life of China around the turn of the 20th century. The image, estimated to have been taken circa 1900, depicts a group of soldiers, dressed in traditional Chinese uniforms, marching with their arms on their left shoulders. The discipline and precision of their movements are evident as they move in unison, creating a striking visual display. The soldiers' dwelling, or barracks, can be seen in the background, with its distinctively Chinese architecture. The buildings, with their sloping roofs and intricate decorative details, contrast sharply with the uniformity of the soldiers and their military drills. One soldier in the foreground carries a lantern, which could indicate that the soldiers are preparing for nighttime duties or that the photograph was taken later in the day. The lantern's warm glow adds a sense of mystery and intrigue to the scene, further highlighting the exotic allure of China during this era. This photograph, part of the Box 167 collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, provides a fascinating window into the past, offering insights into the daily life of Chinese soldiers during a time of significant cultural and historical change. The image's rich details and evocative atmosphere make it an invaluable addition to any collection focused on Chinese history or military history.
