EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph depicts the Yung Los tomb, a significant historical landmark located within the Ming Tombs complex in Beijing, China. Dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries, the Ming Tombs are a UNESCO World Heritage site and the final resting place for 13 Ming dynasty emperors and their empresses. The Yung Los tomb, named after the Wanli Emperor's personal name, Yang Guang, is one of the most ornate and best-preserved tombs in the complex. The photograph, taken during the 1870s, 1880s, 1890s, or early 1900s, captures the architectural grandeur of the tomb, which is nestled amidst the serene countryside, offering a striking contrast between the urban and rural landscapes. The intricate details of the tomb's structure, including the imposing entrance gate, the ornate decorations, and the meticulously designed courtyards, are evident in this exquisite albumen print. The photograph, taken by the renowned traveller and photographer Thomas Child, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of China during a period of significant historical change. The image invites us to explore the intricacies of traditional Chinese architecture and the beauty of the Chinese countryside, providing a window into the past and a reminder of the enduring legacy of the Ming dynasty.
