Amoy Harbour, c. 1868 - A Glimpse into China's Maritime Heritage
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of Amoy Harbour in the late 19th century. Taken by John Thomson, a renowned Scottish photographer, this image offers a unique glimpse into the bustling maritime scene of Amoy (now known as Xiamen), located in Fujian province, China. The panoramic view showcases the natural beauty of this coastal city with its rocky shores and tranquil waters stretching towards the horizon. The letterbox format adds depth to the composition, allowing us to appreciate both the scenic landscape and the background people going about their daily activities. Intriguingly oriental yet distinctly British in style, Thomson's collotype technique beautifully renders every detail of this historic moment frozen in time. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era when trade between Britain and China was flourishing. As we observe a lone man standing on one of these rocks amidst his surroundings, we are reminded that Amoy Harbour served as a vital link between two cultures – connecting East and West through commerce and exchange. This photograph not only documents an important geographical feature but also reflects upon our shared human heritage. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this vintage artwork from "Illustrations of China and Its People". Volume II (1873) serves as a testament to John Thomson's artistic vision and his dedication to capturing diverse cultures through photography. It invites viewers to embark on a visual journey back
