EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Jetty at Canton," is a stunning representation of the bustling port city in China during the mid-19th century. The image was captured by the renowned Swiss photographer Pierre Joseph Rossier and published by Negretti and Zambra, marking the first time such views of China were made available to the Western world. The Jetty at Canton, taken between 1858 and 1861, depicts a bustling scene along the eastern coast of China. The photograph showcases the intricate details of the Chinese junks, their colorful sails billowing in the wind, as they are moored along the jetty. The vibrant buildings and structures along the shoreline add to the richness and depth of the scene, with the Canton Tower looming in the background. Rossier's masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimension, drawing the viewer into the heart of this bustling port city. The photograph is an invaluable record of life in China during a time of significant cultural exchange between the East and the West. These important images, part of the First and Second Series published by Negretti and Zambra, were groundbreaking in their time, providing the Western world with a glimpse into the exotic and mysterious land of China. The Jetty at Canton remains a testament to Rossier's skill and the enduring allure of China's storied past.
