EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures Li Hongzhang, a prominent Chinese statesman and military leader of the late 19th century, during his visit to Tianjin in 1878. The image was skillfully captured by the renowned Chinese photographer Liang Shitai, also known as See Tay. Li Hongzhang, who held the title of Earl in Tianjin, was a pivotal figure during the late Qing Dynasty, serving as the Viceroy of Hunan and Hubei, the Governor-General of the Zhili Circuit, and a member of the Zongli Yamen, the highest executive organ of the Qing government. The photograph, taken in the 1870s to 1880s, is an exquisite example of albumen print, a popular photographic process during the 19th century. The ethnographic significance of this image lies in its portrayal of Li Hongzhang in traditional Mandarin attire, which was the standard dress for high-ranking officials during the Qing Dynasty. The portrait offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and the colonial era in China, a time when the country was undergoing significant changes due to foreign influence. Liang Shitai's masterful use of light and shadow, combined with his ability to capture the subject's expressive features, makes this portrait a remarkable piece of Chinese photographic history. The image offers a window into the past, providing insight into the life of a man who played a crucial role in shaping China's political landscape during a time of great transformation.
