EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Poo Ta La, also known as the Great Temple near Zhehol in Tartary, China. Created by artist James Tingle around 1840, this artwork potentially depicts the renowned Potala Palace, which has served as a traditional residence for the Dalai Lama in Lhasa, Tibet. The term "Tartary" historically referred to a vast region spanning from the Dnieper River to the Sea of Japan. The image captures an exquisite architectural masterpiece that exemplifies Chinese and Buddhist influences. The temple's intricate design and vibrant colors stand out against its breathtaking natural surroundings—a picturesque valley nestled amidst mountains. This engraving beautifully portrays both religious devotion and remarkable craftsmanship.

As we admire this piece of artistry, we are transported back in time to witness the rich cultural heritage of China. With its blend of historical context and artistic excellence, this print serves as a testament to Thomas Allom's talent—the renowned landscape artist who captured these mesmerizing scenes through his collaboration with James Tingle.
