EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling market place of Tsingtao, China in 1898. The image, captured by Christian Wilhelm Allers, showcases a vibrant scene where European and Chinese children mingle amidst the town's lively atmosphere. Two girls named Irma and Lizzie stand at the center of attention, their presence adding an intriguing element to this snapshot of cultural exchange. In "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), Allers not only provides stunning illustrations but also offers a glimpse into different corners of the world. This particular lithograph transports us to Tsingtao, highlighting its significance as a hub for trade and commerce during that time period. The architectural beauty of Tsingtao is evident in this image - traditional buildings line both sides of the market street, creating a picturesque backdrop for daily life. As travellers explore this unique location, they are immersed in an enchanting blend of European and Chinese influences. Allers' work serves as a window into history; it allows us to witness how people from diverse backgrounds interacted within these marketplaces over a century ago. Through his lens, we can appreciate not only the physical landscape but also gain insight into social dynamics and cultural exchanges that shaped communities like Tsingtao. This remarkable print is more than just an artistic representation; it is an invaluable piece that captures moments frozen in time – reminding us how far we have come while preserving our connection with our past.
