In this illustration, we see a Chinaman selling copies of the renowned Pekin Gazette, an important newspaper during that era. The vendor is dressed in traditional Chinese attire, complete with a distinctive ponytail, which was characteristic of the time. The artist has beautifully captured the essence of street life in China at that time. The attention to detail is remarkable - from the intricate patterns on the vendor's costume to the architectural elements in the background. This print offers us a glimpse into daily life and commerce in historic Beijing. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone by. It reminds us of how newspapers were once sold on street corners, capturing people's attention as they went about their day.
