EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, during the historic voyage of HMS Challenger. Organized by the Royal Society, this scientific expedition spent four years surveying the world's oceans. Equipped with a dark room on board, they were able to develop photographs taken of the lands and peoples encountered along their journey. In this particular image, we are transported to Kyoto City in Japan, where we witness the majestic Golden Temple (Kinkaku-ji) standing proudly against a backdrop of coastal beauty. The temple's golden exterior shines brightly even in monochrome, exuding an aura of spirituality and tranquility. The photograph not only captures architectural magnificence but also symbolizes cultural exploration and religious significance. As one of Asia's most iconic landmarks, Kinkaku-ji holds great historical value for Japan. This remarkable image serves as a testament to the pioneering nature of this expedition. It is believed that this was one of the first journeys to incorporate routine photography alongside an official artist. Preserved by the Natural History Museum in London through their Science Photo Library collection, it allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and scientific curiosity that drove these explorers over a century ago.
