1800s 1865 Albumen Print Hand Colored Lantern Pavilion Revolving Hand Tinted
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 1865 albumen print, hand colored, captures the intricate beauty of a Revolving Lantern from Japan during the 19th century. The image showcases the exterior of the pavilion, with its ornate facade and intricately designed revolving lantern. The lantern, a common feature in Japanese architecture, was used for both functional and decorative purposes. Its revolving mechanism allowed it to cast light in various directions, providing illumination for the surrounding area. The use of hand coloring and hand tinting adds an extra layer of depth and richness to the photograph, enhancing the vibrant colors and textures of the building. This historic image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the architectural and cultural heritage of Japan during the nineteenth century. The Revolving Lantern is now a cherished piece of history, housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The museum's extensive collection of art and artifacts spans various time periods and cultures, making it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in art and history. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of Japanese architecture and the importance of preserving cultural heritage for future generations.
