EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of Tiananmen, Porte de la Purete Celeste in Beijing. The image showcases an engraving from a drawing by Taylor, based on a photograph taken by Dr. Morache. It was featured in "Le Tour du Monde, Nouveau journal des Voyages" edited by Edouard Charton and published in Paris in 1876. The scene depicts the imposing architecture of Tiananmen Gate, also known as the Gate of Heavenly Purity. This iconic structure served as one of the main entrances to the Forbidden City during imperial times. Its intricate design and towering presence reflect both Chinese artistry and fortification techniques. In this engraving, we can appreciate the attention to detail captured by Taylor's skilled hand. Every line seems to tell a story about China's rich history and architectural prowess.
