EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "North East Corner Wall Peking" captures the essence of ancient China in a remarkable way. Taken by Felice Beato, an English photographer born in Italy, and Henry Hering, a British artist, this image showcases the grandeur and mystique of the city's historic walls. The photograph was captured in October 1860 during a time when China was undergoing significant changes due to foreign influences. The intricate details of the wall are beautifully highlighted through the use of albumen silver print technique, which adds depth and texture to every element. As we gaze at this stunning image, we are transported back in time to witness the majesty of Peking (now Beijing) from its northern and eastern corners. The towering walls stand tall against a backdrop of clear blue skies, evoking a sense of strength and resilience that has withstood centuries. This photograph not only serves as a visual testament to China's rich history but also reflects Beato's keen eye for capturing cultural heritage. It reminds us that even amidst modernization and progress, it is crucial to preserve our architectural treasures as they hold stories waiting to be told. Whether displayed on its own or as part of an art collection, this print is sure to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and historical significance.
