EDITORS COMMENTS
The Chinese Boxers, Le Petit Parisien, 17th June 1900 (engraving) captures a pivotal moment in history during the Boxer Rebellion. The engraving depicts the destruction of rail tracks between Beijing and Hong Kong by the Chinese Boxers before the arrival of a service train. This act of sabotage was documented in "Le Petit Parisien" newspaper in 1900. The image showcases the chaos and violence that engulfed China during this period. The intricate details captured by Charles Crespin, an artist from the late nineteenth century, bring to life the intensity and devastation caused by this revolt. The rebellion was fueled by anti-foreign sentiments and aimed at expelling Western influence from China. Railways were seen as symbols of foreign intrusion and modernization efforts imposed on traditional Chinese society. By destroying these railways, the Boxers sought to disrupt communication networks and hinder foreign forces' ability to maintain control. This engraving serves as a reminder of how historical events can shape nations and alter their trajectory. It highlights both the resilience of those who fought against perceived oppression and also raises questions about cultural identity amidst rapid globalization. Stefano Bianchetti's print allows us to reflect on this significant chapter in Asian history while appreciating his skillful interpretation through artistry.
