EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph depicts the breathtaking Imperial Gardens of the Summer Palace in Peking (Beijing), China, as they appeared around the year 1800. The serene scene showcases the picturesque beauty of the gardens, with their winding paths, tranquil lake, and hillside dotted with ornate pavilions, halls, and temples. A sampan glides gracefully along the lake's surface, reflecting the vibrant colors of the surrounding structures and lush foliage. The Summer Palace was the favored retreat of the Emperor and his court, providing a respite from the bustling city of Peking. The gardens were a symbol of the power and wealth of the imperial dynasty, and were home to an array of cultural and historical treasures. This image offers a glimpse into the grandeur and elegance of imperial Chinese life during this period. The lithograph is taken from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, published in Meissen between 1835 and 1840. Goedsche's ethnographic and anthropological collection aimed to document the diverse customs, costumes, and traditions of various peoples around the world. This particular image not only captures the beauty of the Summer Palace gardens, but also provides a valuable historical record of this iconic Chinese landmark.
