Wing Yang, 1898
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating portrait captured by Christian Wilhelm Allers. This black and white lithograph showcases the elegance and grace of a Chinese woman named Wing Yang, who resided in Chicago as the wife of Hip-Ling. The photograph dates back to a significant period in history when the earliest Chinese immigrants arrived in Chicago around the completion of the first transcontinental railway in 1869. In this side view portrait, Wing Yang exudes timeless beauty with her traditional Chinese attire. Her profile reveals intricate robes made from luxurious silk fabric, symbolizing her cultural heritage and refinement. A meticulously crafted bun adorns her hair, adding an air of sophistication to her overall appearance. Christian Wilhelm Allers skillfully captures not only Wing Yang's physical features but also conveys a sense of dignity and strength through his artwork. As part of his book "Rund um die Erde" which translates to "Round the Earth". Allers beautifully illustrates diverse individuals from different countries. This lithograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation that sheds light on the lives and experiences of early Chinese immigrants living far away from their homeland. It allows us to appreciate their contributions while reminding us of our shared humanity across borders and cultures.
