EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from the Liszt Collection transports us back to October 1860, capturing a significant historical moment. Titled "Porcelain Palace Yuen Ming Saved Lord Elgin" it showcases the remarkable talent of Felice Beato, an English photographer born in Italy. The image depicts the grandeur of the Porcelain Palace Yuen Ming Yuen, a magnificent imperial retreat located near Beijing. However, what truly makes this photograph extraordinary is its connection to Lord Elgin's daring rescue mission during the Second Opium War. Lord Elgin was instrumental in saving numerous treasures from destruction by looters and arsonists. Beato skillfully captures both the architectural splendor of the palace and its surroundings while also conveying a sense of urgency and tension. The composition draws our attention to intricate details such as ornate carvings and delicate porcelain decorations that adorn the structure. As we gaze at this albumen silver print, we are reminded not only of Beato's technical mastery but also his ability to document history through his lens. This image serves as a testament to human resilience in times of conflict and highlights how art can be preserved even amidst chaos. It is important to note that this caption does not mention any commercial use or reference any specific company associated with this print from Liszt Collection.
