EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1969, inside the iconic Forbidden City in Peking (Beijing), China. The image captures a moment frozen in time, as visitors explore the grandeur of this historic palace complex. The Forbidden City, also known as the Royal Palace of the Ming Dynasty, stands tall with its magnificent building elements and intricate decorations. Its architecture represents centuries of Chinese history and culture, making it a significant landmark not only for China but for all of Asia. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported to an urban square within the vast palace grounds. People from different corners of the world gather here to witness firsthand the marvels that lie within these ancient walls. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into their experiences as tourists immersing themselves in Chinese history. The stairs staircase leading up to one of the palace's entrances adds depth to this composition. It symbolizes both physical ascent and metaphorical exploration into another era – an invitation for each visitor to step into a bygone world filled with stories waiting to be discovered. Through Alinari's lens, Quilici Folco beautifully captures not just a historical site but also glimpses into anthropology, ethnography, folklore - aspects that reflect upon populations and nationalities across Asia throughout millennia. This print serves as a reminder that even though decades have passed since its capture in 1969, these architectural wonders continue to captivate hearts and minds alike. They stand testament to China's rich cultural heritage while inviting future generations on journeys through time.
