EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Chinese Boxers" captures a significant moment during the Boxer Rebellion in China, which took place in the early 20th century. The colour lithograph, created by Charles Crespin in 1900, showcases a group of Boxers dismantling railway tracks with determination and purpose. The image provides a glimpse into the intense atmosphere of rebellion and resistance against foreign colonialism that characterized this period in Chinese history. The Boxer Rebellion was a violent uprising led by an anti-imperialist secret society known as the Society of Righteous and Harmonious Fists or simply "Boxers". They sought to expel foreign influences from China, particularly targeting Western powers and their economic interests. In this scene, we witness the defiant actions of these Boxers as they dismantle railway tracks - a symbol of Western progress and dominance. Their act represents both physical disruption and symbolic resistance against foreign control over Chinese territory. "The Chinese Boxers" serves as a visual testament to the power of collective action and highlights the strength exhibited by ordinary people when faced with oppression. This historical photograph not only documents an important event but also sheds light on themes such as nationalism, cultural identity, and anti-colonial sentiment. As we reflect upon this image today, it reminds us of the complex dynamics between nations during periods marked by imperialism and struggle for independence. It prompts us to consider how historical events continue to shape our present world while urging us to learn from past mistakes in order to build a more inclusive
