EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Peking Barricades 1912" takes us back to a significant moment in history, capturing the chaos and resilience of the time. The image showcases guards standing next to barricades at Legation Street in Peking during March 1912. As riots engulfed the city, Marines were entrusted with the crucial task of blocking off western portions of Wall Street and Legation Street using sandbags looped with firing ports. The photograph offers a glimpse into the tense atmosphere that prevailed during this period. To reinforce their defense, either a Gatling gun or a Colt machine gun was strategically positioned alongside these makeshift barriers. The soldiers depicted here epitomize bravery and dedication as they stand guard amidst uncertainty. With its vibrant colors brought to life through colorization techniques, this postcard-sized print provides an immersive experience into early 20th-century China. It transports us to an era marked by social upheaval and political unrest.
