EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time between c1910 and c1915, showcasing the bustling streets of Dalian, Liaoning Province, China. The photograph was taken by renowned photographer George Grantham Bain's news agency, Bain News Service. The image reveals a warehouse filled with sacks of beans stacked high to the ceiling. Against this industrial backdrop, people from all walks of life - workers in uniform and locals going about their daily business - mingle and move through the space. The black-and-white tones evoke a sense of nostalgia, transporting viewers back to an era when international trade was on the rise. As part of Bain News Service's extensive collection, this photograph provides a unique window into China during its early 20th-century transformation. It is a testament to George Grantham Bain's keen eye and dedication to capturing the world around him. This historic image now resides in the Library of Congress, where it remains an important piece of heritage art for generations to come. In this photograph, we see not only the humble beans that fueled China's economic growth but also the people who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to make international trade a reality. It is a poignant reminder of the power of photography to preserve and share our collective history.
