EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the enchanting city of Woo-She-Shan in 1876. The creator, Tung Hing, skillfully captures the essence of this ancient Chinese town with his albumen silver print from a glass negative. The image showcases the imposing city walls that encircle Woo-She-Shan, standing tall against the backdrop of rolling hills. These fortifications, reminiscent of a bygone era, speak volumes about the rich history and cultural heritage preserved within its boundaries. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported into a world where battlements and castles were an integral part of daily life. The architectural beauty is evident as each building stands proudly within the walled town. Tung Hing's photography allows us to appreciate not only the physical geography but also captures the spirit and soul of this metropolitan gem. The monochromatic palette adds depth and character to every detail captured through his lens. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to Tung Hing's artistic prowess and dedication to preserving historical moments through photography. It invites us on a journey through time while igniting our curiosity about China's fascinating past. In this photograph lies more than just bricks and mortar; it encapsulates an entire era filled with stories waiting to be discovered within these ancient walls.
