EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1969, capturing a Chinese group standing proudly in front of the majestic entrance to the Forbidden City in Peking (Beijing), China. The image transports us to a time when this ancient city was known as Peking, and showcases the grandeur of one of China's most iconic landmarks. The Forbidden City, also known as the Royal Palace of the Ming Dynasty, stands tall with its intricate architecture and impressive scale. This photograph not only captures its beauty but also provides a glimpse into Chinese history during that era. The crowd gathered at the entrance reflects a society deeply rooted in tradition and politics. Each individual within this group represents a unique association or affiliation, creating an intriguing scene filled with stories waiting to be told. It is through images like these that we can explore anthropology, ethnography, folklore, and understand more about Chinese culture. As we delve deeper into this visual masterpiece by Quilici Folco from Alinari, it becomes evident how communication played an essential role even back then. The building elements and decorations surrounding them serve as instruments for conveying messages - symbols etched on walls telling tales of power and heritage. This print serves as both an instrument for communication itself while also being part of our collective history. It allows us to appreciate not just the architectural marvels but also ponder upon population dynamics within China during that period. Let this mesmerizing snapshot transport you through time – immerse yourself in its rich details; imagine walking alongside those individuals who stood before one of mankind's greatest treasures: The Forbidden City.
