EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking beauty of the mountainous landscape in Kashgar, western China, during the 1930s. The image, taken by renowned photographer Ralph Ponsonby Watts, depicts travellers making their way through the rugged terrain on horse-drawn wagons. The natural scenery is a stunning backdrop to the historical scene, with towering mountains, lush greenery, and clear blue skies. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the transportation methods of the time. Horse-drawn wagons were a common means of travel in the Xinjiang region during the 1930s, and this image captures the essence of the journey, with the wagons winding their way through the mountains, their passengers dressed in traditional Chinese clothing, and the horses pulling the heavy loads. The photograph is a testament to the resilience and determination of the travellers, who braved the challenging terrain and weather conditions to reach their destinations. The image also highlights the rich cultural heritage of the region, with its unique blend of Chinese and Central Asian influences. Ralph Ponsonby Watts was a British photographer who travelled extensively in China during the 1930s, documenting the country's people, landscapes, and history. This photograph is a valuable addition to his extensive body of work, providing a fascinating insight into a bygone era.
