EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting city of Pekin, China in 1884. The image is an engraving featured in "The Youth Journal", showcasing the magnificent Walls of Pekin. Created by a French School artist from the 19th century, this piece now resides in a private collection. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported to a time when fortifications played a crucial role in protecting cities. The intricate details captured by Stefano Bianchetti allow us to marvel at the grandeur and strength of these ancient walls that once surrounded Beijing. The composition offers us a panoramic view of the city, allowing our eyes to wander along its impressive length. We can almost imagine ourselves walking alongside these towering structures, feeling their solid presence and witnessing their significance within Chinese history. The use of black and white adds a timeless quality to the image, emphasizing both the architectural beauty and historical importance of these fortifications. It serves as a reminder that even though time passes and civilizations evolve, there will always be remnants left behind that tell stories of our past. This print is not just an artistic masterpiece but also an invaluable glimpse into China's rich cultural heritage. It invites us to appreciate both the artistry involved in creating such engravings as well as the resilience displayed by those who built and defended these walls centuries ago.
