EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "China: An old coolie (colour litho)" takes us back in time to the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the lives of Chinese laborers. The image, created by Norman Hardy and featured in Lena E Johnston's book "China" from the Peeps at Many Lands series, showcases an elderly coolie with weathered features and a stoic expression. The coolie's presence evokes a sense of history and nostalgia as we contemplate his role in shaping China's past. Coolies were hardworking individuals who performed manual labor under challenging conditions, often carrying heavy loads or working on construction sites. Their contributions played a significant role in building infrastructure and supporting economic growth during this era. The color lithograph technique used to create this print adds depth and vibrancy to the scene, capturing intricate details that allow us to appreciate both the artistry involved and the cultural significance it represents. From his traditional attire to his worn-out hat, every element tells a story of resilience amidst adversity. As we reflect on this poignant image, we are reminded of China's rich heritage and its people's enduring spirit throughout history. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of how far society has come while honoring those who labored tirelessly behind-the-scenes for progress.
