EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print depicts a Chinese infantryman, affectionately known as the "Tiger of War," who served in the Chinese military during the mid-19th century. The Tiger of War was renowned for his distinctive and fearsome appearance, which included a brightly colored tiger-stripe uniform and a shield adorned with a fierce tiger motif. The Tiger of War's uniform, which was not limited to this infantryman but was also worn by other Chinese soldiers during this era, was a striking contrast to the more muted and practical uniforms of European armies during the same time period. The vibrant tiger stripes not only served as a symbol of Chinese military might but also intimidated enemy forces. The Tiger of War's shield, which bore the image of a fierce tiger, was an essential part of his battle gear. The tiger motif was a common symbol of power and strength in Chinese culture, and it was believed that carrying a shield with this motif would bring the warrior protection and courage in battle. This Chinese infantryman also carried a sword, which was a standard weapon for foot soldiers during this period. The sword, along with the shield, was a formidable weapon that allowed the Tiger of War to engage in close combat with enemy forces. The exact date of this photograph is not known, but it is believed to be from around 1826. This historical image offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the appearance and equipment of Chinese infantrymen during this period. The Tiger of War's bold and distinctive uniform and fierce shield motif continue to captivate viewers and remind us of the rich history and cultural traditions of China's military past.
