EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of a South Chinese beach village circa 1900. The ramshackle dwellings, built from a haphazard arrangement of wooden planks and thatch, cling precariously to the rugged coastline. The villagers go about their daily lives, oblivious to the intrusion of the camera. In the foreground, a woman in traditional clothing tends to a small fire, perhaps cooking a simple meal. A child plays nearby, his curiosity piqued by the presence of the photographer. In the background, the hills roll gently, their verdant slopes providing a stark contrast to the rustic scene below. A boat rests on the sand, its sails furled and oars neatly stowed, waiting for the next journey out to sea. The warm glow of a lantern casts an inviting light over the scene, adding to the sense of tranquility and community. This photograph, part of the Boswell Collection Southern China and Its People, offers a rare glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when life was simpler and more in harmony with nature.
