EDITORS COMMENTS
September 1911: A poignant moment in history is captured in this striking photograph. Chinese sailors, led by Rear Admiral Chin Pih Kwang of the Imperial Chinese Navy, pay their respects at Grant's Tomb on Manhattan Island, New York City. The solemn procession takes place as they carry a gun-toting comrade to the mausoleum of General Ulysses S. Grant, former President and Commander-in-Chief of the United States Army.
This powerful image is a testament to the cultural exchange and diplomatic relations between China and America during this pivotal era in history. The sailors' solemn faces convey their reverence for the fallen leader, while also serving as a poignant reminder of the complexities of international diplomacy.
The photograph was taken by Bain News Service, one of the most prominent news agencies of its time. This rare glimpse into early 20th-century Sino-American relations is now preserved in Heritage Images and made available through the Library of Congress.
