EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Peking (modern Beijing) in 1908. The image captures the vibrant energy of a marketplace, possibly during a significant event - the lying-in-state of Dowager Empress Cixi (Tsu-Hsi). As we gaze at this historical snapshot, we are transported to an era where architecture tells stories and culture thrives. The intricate details of traditional Chinese buildings line the landscape, showcasing their grandeur and craftsmanship. Each structure seems to hold secrets from centuries past. The composition is masterfully captured by Wood, who skillfully frames the scene with a format that emphasizes both the vastness and intimacy of this busy market. From vendors selling colorful produce to shoppers haggling for goods, every corner teems with life. While it remains unknown whether this photograph was taken during Dowager Empress Cixi's lying-in-state or if it simply depicts daily life in Peking at that time, one thing is certain: it offers us a glimpse into a bygone era full of rich history and cultural significance. This remarkable piece from Fine Art Storehouse allows us to appreciate not only Wood's artistic talent but also invites contemplation on how societies evolve over time while still preserving their unique heritage.
