EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the Bund in Hankow (now Hankou, a part of Wuhan) during the late 19th century. The Bund, a prominent waterfront area, was a bustling hub of activity during this era, serving as a crucial trading post between China and the Western world. In this photograph, we see an array of boats, both large and small, tied up along the shoreline, waiting to unload their cargo. The architecture in the background showcases a unique blend of traditional Chinese and colonial influences, with ornate buildings standing proudly alongside more utilitarian structures. The Bund was a symbol of the country's rich cultural heritage and its growing integration into the global economy. This photograph, captured in the 1880s, offers a glimpse into a bygone era, providing us with a fascinating window into the history of China during the late 19th century. The image, captured on albumen paper, is a testament to the enduring allure of this historic landmark and the vibrant urban life that once thrived along its shores.
