EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1939, two Chinese girls, dressed in traditional Hanfu attire, are seen among the bustling crowd at the Shanghai Races in China. The girls, with their curious and excited expressions, add a charming touch to the lively scene of racegoers eagerly anticipating the start of the horserace. The Shanghai Races, also known as the "Chinese Derby," were a significant social event in Shanghai during the 1930s and attracted a diverse crowd of locals and expatriates. The girls' traditional Hanfu outfits, with their intricate patterns and vibrant colors, stand out against the backdrop of the modern grandstand and the sleek horses and jockeys. The girls' youthful energy and sense of wonder are palpable, as they join the throngs of spectators in the anticipation of the race. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Shanghai during this period, as well as the city's vibrant social scene. The Shanghai Races were not only a popular sporting event but also a symbol of the cosmopolitan and international character of the city. This photograph captures the essence of the moment, encapsulating the excitement, diversity, and allure of the Shanghai Races in 1939.
