EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in Chinese history - the royal wedding of the sixteen-year-old Manchu Emperor, which took place recently in Peking on 22 January 1923. The image showcases the young emperor, also known as Puyi or Pu I, who would later be recognized as the last emperor of China. In this monochrome portrait, we see the full-length figure of the Xuantong Emperor adorned in traditional regal attire. His majestic presence is undeniable as he stands with an air of solemnity and grace. The photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era when imperial grandeur still held sway over China. The significance of this occasion cannot be overstated; it represents not only a personal milestone for the young ruler but also symbolizes continuity and tradition within Chinese culture. As viewers, we are transported back to that historic day where centuries-old customs merged with modernity. Preserved by Central News and now part of Europeana Photography collection, this remarkable image invites us to reflect upon an empire's past glory while contemplating its uncertain future. It serves as a testament to both cultural heritage and human resilience amidst changing times. As we gaze at this evocative portrayal captured nearly a century ago, we can't help but marvel at how photography has preserved such precious moments for generations to come. This print from TopFoto allows us to connect with history on an intimate level - reminding us that even empires may rise and fall, but their stories
