EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative late 19th century photograph captures the enchanting scene of the 'Little Orphan Rock' on the Yangtze River in Susong, Anqing, Anhui Province, China. The rock, a natural landmark, is depicted here as a solitary, weathered boulder nestled in the gentle currents of the river. Susong, a historic town located on the southern bank of the Yangtze, was renowned during this era for its rich cultural heritage and bustling trade. The photograph, taken in the 1880s to 1900s, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the traditional architecture and urban scenery of the time. The buildings along the riverbank are a testament to the architectural prowess of the era, with their intricate designs and ornate details. The town's streets were teeming with activity, filled with tourists and travellers seeking to experience the unique charm of this historic place. The photograph, an albumen print, is a valuable archival record of this early period in Chinese history. It invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of the town, and to appreciate the beauty and significance of this landmark in the context of its time and place. The image is a poignant reminder of the enduring allure of China's historic towns and landscapes, and the role they play in shaping our understanding of the country's rich cultural heritage.
