EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to Amoy Harbour circa 1869. The image, captured on an albumen silver print and preserved on a glass negative, showcases the remarkable craftsmanship of early photography. Measuring 6 11/16 by 9 1/4 inches (17 by 23.5 cm), this piece is attributed to John Thomson, a British photographer hailing from Edinburgh, Scotland. The scene depicted in this photograph transports us to the bustling harbor of Amoy during the late nineteenth century. With its intricate details and impeccable composition, it offers a glimpse into the maritime activities that once animated these shores. From towering masts and billowing sails to busy dockworkers loading cargo onto ships, every element tells a story of trade and adventure. Thomson's keen eye for capturing cultural nuances shines through as we observe local fishermen skillfully maneuvering their boats amidst larger vessels. The juxtaposition of traditional Chinese junks against Western-style sailing ships creates a visual dialogue between two worlds colliding at this vibrant port. As we admire this historical gem from Artokoloro's collection, we are reminded of how photography has long served as both an artistic medium and a powerful tool for documenting our shared human experience. This particular image not only preserves an important moment in history but also invites us to reflect upon the interconnectedness of cultures across time and space.
