Beijing Carriages Peking Slides
EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide depicts an impressive scene of state carriages in Peking, China, during the late 19th century. The photograph, estimated to have been taken around the 1890s, showcases the grandeur and opulence of Chinese imperial transportation. The carriages, adorned with intricate decorations and ornate details, are pulled by a team of strong horses, their manes and tails flowing in the wind. The imperial guards, dressed in traditional uniforms, stand rigidly by the side, adding to the regal atmosphere. The bustling city of Peking, with its narrow streets and traditional architecture, can be seen in the background. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the rich history and culture of China during the late 1800s, a time of significant transformation and Western influence. The lantern slide, part of Box 159 Pekin, slide no. 47 from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable historical document that transports us back in time and provides a fascinating insight into the grandeur and majesty of the Chinese imperial court.
