Zoom-In: Boxer Rebellion

This project explores the Boxer Rebellion by analyzing a captivating photograph of a Chinese Christian pastor and his family, taken around 1900 in Canton, China. By investigating this primary source, we aim to uncover how photographs shape our understanding of historical events. Key questions guide our examination, such as the image's context, the people depicted, and the implications of Western influence on China. This analysis will shed light on the multifaceted nature of historical narratives and how they are influenced by visual documentation.
