EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Temple Confucius Peking" takes us back in time to the bustling city of Pekin, China, during the 19th century. The image was captured by Felice Beato, an English photographer born in Italy in 1832 and known for his remarkable documentation of East Asia. The photograph showcases the magnificent Temple of Confucius in all its glory. Its intricate architecture and grandeur are beautifully depicted through this albumen silver print. The temple stands as a testament to Chinese culture and history, serving as a place of worship and reverence for one of China's most influential philosophers. Accompanying Beato on this photographic endeavor is Henry Hering, a British artist who collaborated with him to create this stunning visual representation. Together, they managed to capture not only the physical beauty of the temple but also its cultural significance. This particular print dates back to October 1860 when Beato took the negative during his exploration of Pekin. Two years later, in 1862, he produced this exquisite albumen silver print that has now become part of the renowned Liszt Collection. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece today, it transports us back to a different era—a time when ancient traditions coexisted with modern developments in China's capital city. It serves as a reminder of our shared human heritage and invites us to appreciate both the architectural marvels and philosophical teachings that have shaped civilizations throughout history.
