No 44 French, annual festival in Shanghai (Concession Française, Quatorze Juillet, Bastille Day)

At the beginning of the 20th century, Dutch engineers worked on a project to remove sandbanks in the Huangpu River (formerly romanised as Whangpoo). After completion, ocean liners were able to reach Shanghai and the city was able to develop into the current metropolis. Many workers came from Werkendam. Nel van As wrote a book about these Werkendam workers, nicknamed 'mosquitos': "Meuzikken in Shanghai" (www.nelvanas.nl/shanghai.html). Many workers sent messages back home on colourful postcards, which give a view of the period when China was about to change from an empire into a republic.
Via Nel van As, Marius van den Heuvel's granddaughter, Mrs Bets Boxman-Ippel and her husband Kees gave me access to these photos.
