EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense atmosphere of "The Crisis in China, Views in Peking and Neighbourhood". Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image offers a glimpse into a tumultuous period in Chinese history. The photograph showcases various significant locations such as royal homes, state occasions, the entrance to allies, and the Temple of Heaven. Intriguingly, it also depicts the presence of the British fleet stationed near Peking. The destruction caused by war is evident through ruins scattered across the landscape. Notably, we can observe both architectural marvels like places of worship alongside their devastated counterparts. The image alludes to historical events such as the attack on Emperor's British Legation and the infamous burning of Summer Palace during that time. These incidents marked a critical turning point for China. With its focus on architecture and places of worship amidst ruins along Peiho River's neighborhood, this photograph provides valuable insight into Beijing's past. It serves as a reminder not only of China's rich cultural heritage but also its turbulent history. Preserved within private collections until now, this piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to delve deeper into Asia's complex narrative while appreciating early photography techniques employed by talented photographers from England during that era.
