EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the tense atmosphere surrounding The Japanese Concession in Hankou, China during the 1920s. Evidently, security measures were stringent as no person was allowed entry without a pass. The image serves as a reminder of the turbulent times marked by conflict and colonialism. In April 1927, an event known as the Hankou Incident unfolded, forever etching itself into history. During this tumultuous period, the National Revolutionary Army alongside rioters infiltrated the Japanese concession. Chaos ensued as acts of vandalism and looting took place while Japanese residents and consular staff faced brutal attacks. The photograph not only portrays a heavily guarded area but also hints at underlying tensions between nations vying for control over territories during that era. It stands as a testament to how war and occupation can shape landscapes both physically and emotionally. Preserved within this archiveid from Memory Lane Prints, Tom Grant's work allows us to glimpse into a past marred by conflict and struggle for power. As we reflect upon this image today, it serves as a poignant reminder of historical events that shaped our world – events that should never be forgotten nor repeated again.
