EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection captures a significant moment in history - the top of the wall at Antin Gate being taken possession of by British and French troops on October 21,1860. The photographer behind this remarkable image is Felice Beato, an English artist born in Italy in 1832. The photograph transports us to Pekin, China, where the scene unfolds. The composition beautifully showcases the imposing structure of Antin Gate as it stretches into the distance. The intricate details of its architecture are brought to life through the albumen silver print technique employed by Beato. In this historic event, British and French troops united their forces to assert their presence and dominance over this strategic location. Their flags proudly flutter atop the gate's walls as a symbol of victory and power. Beato's keen eye for capturing dramatic moments is evident here as he immortalizes this important milestone in international relations. Through his lens, we witness not only a military conquest but also a visual testament to colonial expansion during that era. This print serves as a reminder of how photography can preserve pivotal moments forever. It allows us to delve into history and explore different cultures while appreciating both artistic skill and historical significance simultaneously.
