This print showcases the iconic Gutzlaff Signal Tower on the Bund, Shanghai, China. Standing tall against a backdrop of modern skyscrapers, this historical landmark is a testament to Shanghai's rich heritage and its ever-evolving skyline. The Gutzlaff Signal Tower, named after the German missionary Karl Friedrich August Gutzlaff, was constructed in 1865 as part of an early warning system for approaching ships along the Huangpu River. Its distinctive red-brick structure with intricate architectural details has become synonymous with the city's maritime history. In this beautifully captured image by Paul Brown, we are transported to a time when Shanghai was known as "the Paris of the East". The tower stands proudly at dusk, illuminated by soft golden hues that reflect off its weathered facade. As night falls over the bustling cityscape, lights begin to twinkle in nearby buildings while boats glide silently along the river below.
