Company of Boxers, Tien-Tsin, China (photograph: The Whiting View Company, 1901). The Opium Wars and Boxer Rebellion were violent products of nineteenth-century contact between China and the West.

Originating in the mid-nineteenth century, the stereograph was an ancestor of the newsreel, affording Americans a window on the remote corners of the globe. 1901. Source: Library of Congress.
