EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting photograph captures one of China's chilling methods of death punishment in Shanghai, 1900. The image, taken by renowned photographers Underwood & Underwood, depicts a scene that sends shivers down the spine. In this stereoscopic card detail, we see an exterior view of a crowded street where people have gathered to witness this gruesome spectacle. The composition reveals a country grappling with law and order as onlookers watch in horror and fascination. The monochrome tones add to the somber atmosphere, emphasizing the gravity of the situation unfolding before our eyes. This powerful metaphor for crime and punishment serves as a stark reminder of the harsh realities faced by Chinese society at that time. As we delve into this archival print from The Print Collector collection, we are transported back to early 20th century Shanghai. It is here that criminal justice takes center stage on this dimly lit lane. With its meticulous attention to detail, Underwood & Underwood capture not only an event but also evoke emotions within us – fear, curiosity, and perhaps even relief that such practices belong firmly in history. This photograph stands as a testament to the power of visual storytelling through stereoscopic photography. It allows us to bear witness to moments long gone while serving as a reminder of how far societies have come in their pursuit of justice and human rights.
