Up the river, Shanghai. Photographer: Unknown
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Still Life Photography
A small-format instantaneous view of shipping in the Whangpoo river: 'The two little pictures on page 7 [see also print 6], were taken from the Astor House Hotel, Hong-que, Shanghai. The first is looking straight up the river Woosung … It is impossible to say that it gives anything like an idea of the animated appearance of the river on which Shanghai is situate. The little steamer, however, in the foreground is one seized by the Chinese on the Yang-tsze whilst engaged in contraband traffic, and being converted into a gunboat under the Imperial flag, is riding at anchor in all the dignity of a man-of-war.' (p. 6).
