EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of China in the 1920s, showcasing a unique aspect of transportation in Sung-Kiang. Renowned artist F. T. Wynyard-Wright skillfully portrays this mesmerizing city built amidst a labyrinth of waterways, located just 28 miles southwest of Shanghai. In Songjiang, a suburban district that holds significant historical and prehistoric remnants, canals gracefully replace conventional roads. The image depicts an idyllic scene where people go about their daily lives against the backdrop of picturesque bridges and vibrant colors. It beautifully encapsulates the concept of water transport as an integral part of life during this era. The tranquility exuded by the surrounding nature is juxtaposed with the bustling activity on these canals, providing a glimpse into the rhythm and energy that characterized early 20th-century China. Originally featured in Geographical Magazine's Volume 2 circa 1920, this print serves as a testament to China's rich cultural heritage rooted in Songjiang. Its publication ensured that audiences worldwide could appreciate both its artistic merit and cultural significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection, we are transported back to an era when canals were not merely channels for transportation but also symbols of tradition and resilience within Chinese society. Let us cherish this snapshot frozen in time—a vivid reminder of how history intertwines with everyday life across centuries and continents.
