EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the interior of the Temple of 500 Idols in Canton, China, as depicted in an 1858-1861 photograph by Swiss photographer Pierre Joseph Rossier. The Temple, also known as the Thien Hau Temple, is a significant religious site for the Chinese community in Canton and is dedicated to the goddess Mazu, the Sea Goddess. Rossier's photograph is a remarkable piece of early Chinese documentation, as it was one of the first series of views of China to be produced and sold in the Western world. The image was published by Negretti and Zambra, a renowned London-based firm specializing in scientific instruments and photography. The interior of the temple is adorned with intricate carvings, colorful decorations, and an impressive array of 500 idols, each representing various deities and mythological figures. The dimly lit space is filled with a sense of mystery and reverence, as the faithful come to pay homage to their gods. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of China during a time when the country was opening up to the West. Rossier's masterful composition and attention to detail capture the essence of this sacred space, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical Chinese imagery.
