EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Peking, China, in October 1860. Captured by the talented photographer Felice Beato, an Englishman born in Italy, this image showcases the vibrant shops and lively street scene of a Chinese city during that era. The composition is expertly framed, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the intricate details of this historic moment. The architecture of the buildings lining both sides of the street reflects traditional Chinese design elements, with their ornate roofs and decorative motifs. The shops themselves are filled with colorful merchandise displayed on wooden shelves or hanging from awnings. As we examine this photograph closely, we can almost hear the sounds of vendors hawking their wares and feel the energy emanating from every corner. People dressed in traditional attire walk along the crowded street, going about their daily activities. Henry Hering's collaboration with Beato adds another layer to this remarkable piece. Hering was a British artist known for his skillful hand-coloring techniques which brought life and vibrancy to monochrome photographs like this one. This albumen silver print serves as a valuable historical document that transports us back more than 150 years ago to experience firsthand what life was like on Shops Street in Peking. It offers a glimpse into a world long gone but forever preserved through photography's lens.
