EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Li Hung Chang, the renowned "practical politician" of China, along with his suite. Taken by a European photographer in the 19th century, this historic image is part of a private collection. Li Hung Chang's significance as a political figure in China cannot be overstated. Known for his astute decision-making and pragmatic approach to governance, he was widely regarded as one of the greatest politicians in Chinese history. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the world of this influential statesman. The composition showcases Li Hung Chang surrounded by his entourage, emphasizing both his authority and stature within Chinese society. The monochromatic tones add an air of timelessness to the image, transporting us back to an era when China was undergoing significant changes. This photograph holds great historical value and serves as an illustration for Charles N Robinson's book titled "China of Today or The Yellow Peril". Published around 1896, during a period marked by tensions between Western powers and East Asia, it sheds light on the geopolitical climate at that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot from the past, we are reminded not only of Li Hung Chang's legacy but also of the complex dynamics that shaped China's history during this pivotal period.
