EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "East Street Treasury Canton" captures the essence of bustling life in 19th-century China. Taken by renowned photographer Felice Beato, an Englishman born in Italy, and Henry Hering, a British artist, this image showcases their exceptional talent for capturing the spirit of a place. The photograph depicts East Street in Canton (now Guangzhou), one of the most vibrant cities in China at that time. The viewer is transported to a moment frozen in time - April 1860 - as they witness the daily activities unfolding on this busy street. From merchants haggling over goods to pedestrians going about their day, every detail tells a story. The composition is strikingly beautiful; it highlights the architectural grandeur of the buildings lining East Street while also showcasing its lively atmosphere. The use of albumen silver print adds depth and richness to every element captured within the frame. Beato and Hering's collaboration resulted in an extraordinary piece that not only documents history but also evokes curiosity about life during this period. Their ability to capture such vivid scenes allows us to connect with people who lived centuries ago and gain insight into their world. This print from Liszt Collection serves as a visual time machine, transporting us back to Canton's streets during a pivotal era. It reminds us of the power photography holds – preserving moments forever etched into our collective memory.
