EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dated circa 1902, depicts an attractive Chinese girl with a protective pet dragon. The young woman, dressed in traditional Chinese clothing, cradles the dragon gently, her expression a mix of affection and concern. The dragon, with its vibrant scales and piercing eyes, gazes up at her with unwavering loyalty. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush greenery, adding to the serene and otherworldly atmosphere. The older man in the background, with his intrigued and admiring gaze, is a stark contrast to the peaceful scene before him. His presence serves as a reminder of the outside world and the fascination it holds for the exotic and the unknown. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural history of China, where dragons were believed to be powerful and auspicious creatures, often kept as pets by the nobility. The protective relationship between the girl and her dragon is a testament to the deep bond between humans and their animals, transcending time and culture. The image also highlights the intrigue and fascination that the West held towards the East during this period, with many Europeans traveling to China to explore its mysteries and wonders. This photograph, with its enchanting subject matter and beautiful composition, is a reminder of the enduring allure of the East and the captivating stories it holds.
