EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the Longhua Pagoda in Shanghai, China, dating back to the 10th century. The pagoda is one of the most well-known out of the 16 historic pagodas that still stand within the Shanghai municipality.
The ancient structure stands tall and proud, a symbol of Chinese history and culture. Its wooden construction gives it a fragile yet enduring quality, standing as a testament to centuries of Buddhist tradition and architectural prowess.
The intricate details of the pagoda's design are beautifully captured in this image, showcasing its multiple storeys and ornate features. Each level tells a story of the Wuyue Kingdom and its influence on Chinese Buddhism.
As we gaze upon this photograph from the early 1900s, we are transported back in time to an era when Shanghai was still emerging as a bustling metropolis. The Longhua Pagoda stands as a reminder of China's rich past and its continued reverence for tradition.
This print by Rights Managed is not just a piece of art but also a window into history, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance of this ancient temple complex. It serves as a timeless reminder of Shanghai's cultural heritage and spiritual legacy.
