Tartar Soldiers, c. 1868
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph captured by John Thomson, a renowned British photographer of the 19th century. This vintage print, part of the album "Illustrations of China and Its People, Volume I" offers a fascinating glimpse into Chinese military culture during that era. In this image, a group of young Tartar soldiers can be seen taking respite in a tranquil garden setting. Dressed in their distinctive military uniforms, these men from Tartary exude an air of stoic strength and camaraderie. The composition beautifully captures their momentary pause from duty as they socialize amongst themselves. Thomson's keen eye for detail is evident in the intricate collotype technique used to create this print. Each line and shade adds depth to the soldiers' attire while emphasizing their historical significance within Chinese society. This photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable historical document. It transports viewers back to 19th-century China when Britain had significant interactions with its people and culture. Through Thomson's lens, we gain insight into the lives of these brave warriors who played an essential role in shaping China's military heritage. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this remarkable piece invites contemplation on themes such as tradition, identity, and cross-cultural encounters. As we admire Thomson's work today, we are reminded of his contribution to preserving history through photography – capturing moments that transcend time itself.
