There is an American proverb: There is a treasure hidden in every attic. The "treasure" I want to talk about today is a set of precious old photos from the attic.

In 1984, an American woman discovered a batch of negatives left by her father while cleaning out her attic. They are placed in beautiful rosewood boxes, with handwritten film information on the lids, such as the location and time of shooting.

After graduating from university, Gambo came to China many times. From 1908 to 1932, Gamble visited China four times, taking more than 5,000 black and white photos, 30 rolls of 16mm film, and hand-made hundreds of hand-colored frosted glass slides, more than 3,000 of which recorded The cityscape and people’s lives of old Beijing. These image materials capture China in an era of major historical changes and establish a rich set of image archives for Chinese society in the early 20th century.

During his stay in China, Mr. Gambo successively served as a voluntary officer of the Beijing YMCA and a research officer of the North China Civilian Education Movement. He presided over the socio-economic survey of Beijing and northern rural areas, participated in the establishment of the Sociology Department of Yenching University, and authored " Beijing".

Most of them are pictures of ordinary life scenes, including urban life, rural life, architecture, religious sculptures, weddings and funerals, and public events. Activities, festival celebrations, etc. are framed one by one.

Gamble's photos reveal a turbulent yet vibrant picture of China through the eyes of an American.

Today, let us continue to follow Gamble’s photos and return to China a hundred years ago to see the turbulent but vital old China.
