EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph transports us back to 19th century China, capturing the timeless beauty of the Baoyun Bronze Pavilion. Built in 1755 entirely from cast bronze, this architectural marvel stands proudly upon Wanshoushan Hill within the enchanting Summer Palace complex. The image reveals a panoramic view of the pavilion amidst a serene landscape, showcasing its intricate design and grandeur. The temple's delicate details are accentuated by the monochromatic tones, allowing us to appreciate every curve and ornamentation that adorns its structure. Despite the passage of time, we can still sense its former glory as we observe this delapidated state captured through John Thomson's lens. The weathered exterior adds a layer of history and character to this ancient monument. As our gaze wanders beyond the pavilion itself, we catch glimpses of lush gardens surrounding it - known as "Garden of Clear Ripples". This harmonious integration between architecture and nature is a testament to Chinese aesthetics. Thomson's photograph not only captures an iconic landmark but also offers us a glimpse into imperial China during Emperor Qianlong's reign. It serves as a visual reminder of China's rich cultural heritage and architectural prowess. Through this evocative print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to witness the majesty and serenity that once graced these hallowed
