EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph, titled "Garden of Kota" in Canton, China, is a captivating image from the esteemed collection of Pierre Joseph Rossier's "Views in China," published by Negretti and Zambra between 1858 and 1861. These groundbreaking photographs marked the first time such visual representations of China were made available to the Western world. The scene unfolds before us in the heart of Canton, with its lush gardens and serene waterways reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Chinese people. The intricate details of the landscape, from the ornate pavilions to the meticulously tended gardens, reveal a deep appreciation for the beauty and complexity of Eastern aesthetics. Pierre Joseph Rossier, a Swiss photographer, captured these moments in time, providing an unprecedented glimpse into the mysterious and exotic Orient for Europeans and Americans. The images in this series, which were issued by Negretti and Zambra in both a first series and a second series, were instrumental in shaping Western perceptions of China during a time when direct contact with the country was limited. The Garden of Kota stands as a testament to the power of photography to bridge cultural divides and inspire curiosity and wonder. This photograph, along with the others in the collection, continues to captivate viewers today, transporting us back in time to a moment when the East and the West began to forge new connections through the medium of the photographic image.
