EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View Summer Palace Yuen-Ming-Yuen showing Pagoda" takes us back in time to October 1860, capturing a moment of both beauty and tragedy. The image showcases the magnificent Summer Palace, known as Yuen-Ming-Yuen, located in Pekin, China. Standing tall amidst the lush greenery is an exquisite pagoda that adds a touch of elegance to the scene. The photograph was skillfully captured by Felice Beato, an English photographer born in Italy during the early 19th century. Collaborating with Henry Hering, a British artist renowned for his detailed illustrations, they managed to immortalize this enchanting view using albumen silver print technique. However, beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a somber story. This photograph was taken before the infamous burning of the palace complex during conflicts between Chinese and Western forces. It serves as a poignant reminder of the destruction that followed shortly after this snapshot was taken. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece from Liszt Collection, we are transported back to a time when tranquility reigned over these grounds. The combination of Beato's photographic expertise and Hering's artistic vision allows us to appreciate not only the architectural grandeur but also captures an era long gone – forever preserved within this single frame.
