The Sedan; A Military Officer; The Plough; A North China Pony, c. 1868 - Capturing the Essence of Rural Life in 19th Century China
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, taken by John Thomson in 1868, transports us back to a bygone era in rural China. From the album "Illustrations of China and Its People, Volume II" (1873), this collotype image, known as pl. xxii, offers a glimpse into the daily lives of local people. In this scene, we see a military officer seated comfortably inside a sedan chair while being transported along a dusty road. Behind him stands a hardworking farmer guiding his plough through fertile fields with precision and dedication. Nearby grazes an adorable North China pony – sturdy yet gentle – symbolizing the importance of transportation in this agrarian society. Thomson's lens skillfully captures not only the physical surroundings but also the spirit and character of these individuals engaged in their respective professions. The photograph exudes authenticity and regionalism as it showcases traditional Chinese occupations against a backdrop of rustic charm. As we admire this vintage artwork at the Art Institute Chicago's gallery or art center, we are reminded of Thomson's remarkable ability to document different cultures during his time spent traveling across Asia. Through his lens, he immortalizes moments that allow us to connect with history and appreciate its rich tapestry. This piece serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact - transporting us back to 19th century rural life in China while highlighting Thomson's contribution to heritage art photography.
