EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Peking, China in 1900. The image showcases a Chinese saw mill in full operation, revealing the industrious nature of this ancient country during the Qing Dynasty. Amidst a backdrop of traditional buildings, we see men diligently working with timber, their muscular frames reflecting years of laborious work. Each worker is fully engrossed in his task, showcasing their dedication and skill as they manipulate large logs with precision. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this snapshot from history. It transports us to a time when technology was simpler yet equally effective in meeting the needs of society. This photograph serves as a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness that has long defined Chinese culture. Taken by the esteemed Keystone View Company, known for its mastery in stereoscopic photography, this detail from a stereoscopic card offers viewers an immersive experience into early 20th-century China. The print collector who preserved this piece has done an invaluable service by capturing such an important moment in time. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene frozen within these four corners, we are reminded of how far our world has come while also appreciating the rich heritage that continues to shape our present-day existence.
