EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Death to the Foreigners" captures a significant moment in history - the Boxer Rebellion of 1900. The image, originally published in Le Petit Parisien on July 15th, 1900, showcases a powerful scene filled with tension and defiance. In this color lithograph by an anonymous French artist from the 20th century, we witness a group of Chinese individuals reading a sign that boldly proclaims "Mort aux étrangers" (Death to the Foreigners). This chilling message reflects the anti-foreign sentiment prevalent during the uprising against foreign influence in China. The composition is both visually striking and historically significant. The intense expressions on the faces of those depicted convey their determination to drive out foreigners from their land. It serves as a reminder of how deeply rooted these sentiments were during that tumultuous period. As we delve into this piece, it becomes clear that it represents more than just an artistic creation; it encapsulates an important chapter in global history. The Boxer Rebellion was not only about resistance against foreign powers but also reflected tensions surrounding religion and cultural identity. Preserved within private collections and now available through eArchives Charmet via Bridgeman Images, this print offers us a glimpse into past events that shaped our world today. It invites contemplation and reflection on themes such as nationalism, xenophobia, and societal upheaval – reminding us of humanity's complex relationship with change throughout time.
