EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 19th century, showcases the Peking Observatory in China during the 1870s. The observatory, also known as the Beihai Park Observatory, was established in 1442, making it one of the oldest astronomical institutions in the world. However, the building depicted in this image is a newer addition, constructed during the late Qing Dynasty. The photograph captures the grandeur of the observatory's architecture, with its intricate details and ornate design. The building is surrounded by lush greenery, providing a beautiful contrast to the urban landscape of Peking (now Beijing) in the background. The image also reveals a glimpse into the past, as astronomers of various ethnicities, dressed in traditional attire, can be seen working at the observatory. The Peking Observatory played a significant role in the development of Chinese astronomy, as it was one of the few institutions in China that was equipped with advanced astronomical instruments from the West. This allowed Chinese astronomers to make important discoveries and contributions to the field of astronomy, both locally and internationally. The photograph also provides a window into the ethnographic diversity of China during this era. The presence of indigenous people, dressed in their native attire, highlights the rich cultural heritage of China's many ethnic groups. The image also showcases the coexistence of traditional and modern elements, as the observatory represents the fusion of Western and Chinese astronomical traditions. This photograph is an invaluable historical record of a significant moment in Chinese history, capturing the beauty and complexity of Peking Observatory during the late 19th century.
