The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 1
Views of China from the revolutionary and interwar decades range from a man reading a Shanghai Military Government proclamation around 1911 to US Navy destroyers moored in Chinese ports in 1936, a parade before the Shanghai Bund, and a gas mask drill at a foreign legation. An aerial view of the Great Wall and a 1905 American chromolithograph round out this varied record of foreign presence in China.
