EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Underwood & Underwood depicts the aftermath of the Boxer Rebellion in Tientsin, China, in 1901. The image showcases a group of Boxer prisoners who have been captured and brought in by the US 6th Cavalry. The Boxer Uprising was a significant rebellion against foreign influence that occurred during the final years of the Qing Dynasty. Fueled by xenophobia and discontent with Western powers' control over trade, politics, religion, and technology, this rebellion led to violent clashes between Chinese rebels and international forces. In response to the assassination of the German ambassador and the siege of foreign diplomatic legations in Peking (now Beijing), an alliance known as "The Eight Nation Alliance" was formed. Comprised of Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Japan, Italy Austria-Hungary, and United States they intervened militarily to suppress the uprising. This powerful photograph captures not only a moment in history but also reflects on themes such as captivity and warfare. The solemn expressions on these captured Boxers' faces reveal their defeat while highlighting their role as prisoners caught up in larger political conflicts. Through its monochrome composition and stereoscopic technique popular at that time period, the image transports us back to this tumultuous era when nations clashed over power dynamics within China. It serves as a reminder of how historical events can shape countries' destinies while leaving lasting imprints on individuals caught up in these turbulent times.
