EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide, titled 'Farmer (?)' from the early 1890s, offers a glimpse into rural China during the late 19th century. The image, part of Box 159 from Pekin (now Beijing), depicts a man in traditional Chinese attire, standing in a serene countryside setting. The farmer is dressed in a long, loose robe, with a wide-brimmed hat shielding him from the sun. In his hands, he holds a large wicker basket, likely used for carrying crops or other harvested goods. The background of the slide reveals a picturesque landscape, with rolling hills, lush vegetation, and a few thatched-roof houses scattered throughout. The scene is further enhanced by the use of natural light, casting a warm, golden hue over the image. The overall composition is simple yet evocative, capturing the essence of rural life in China during this era. The lantern slide, a popular medium for projecting images during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, offers a unique perspective into China's rich history. This particular slide, with its intriguing subject and beautiful setting, provides a captivating window into the past. The image invites us to imagine the daily life of a farmer in China during the late 1800s, and to appreciate the beauty and simplicity of rural living in this fascinating country.
