EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to early 20th century Shanghai, where the enchanting willow-pattern tea-house takes center stage. Captured by an anonymous European photographer, this image is a testament to the city's rich history and cultural heritage. The delicate lines of the willow pattern design adorn the exterior walls of the tea-house, creating an exquisite visual spectacle against its traditional architecture. The intricate details tell a story of ancient Chinese folklore and tradition, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. This particular photograph was featured in "The Outline of the World To-Day" edited by Sir Harry Johnston and Dr L Haden Guest in 1920. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece, showcasing Shanghai's unique blend of Eastern and Western influences during that time period. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we can almost imagine ourselves stepping into this tranquil oasis amidst bustling Shanghai streets. The willow-pattern tea-house stands as a symbol of serenity amid chaos—a place where locals would gather to sip fragrant teas while engaging in lively conversations. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we are able to appreciate this piece of history today. This print not only captures our imagination but also reminds us of the beauty found within cultural exchange and appreciation for centuries-old traditions.
