EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Peking as it is and as it was, about 1290" takes us on a visual journey through time. The lithograph, created by an English School artist in the 20th century, offers a glimpse into the historical city of Peking (now Beijing) during the year 1290. The image transports us to ancient China, where we witness the bustling streets and architectural wonders that defined this vibrant metropolis. From intricately designed temples to majestic palaces, every detail in this engraving tells a story of a rich cultural heritage. This artwork serves as an illustration for "The Book of Ser Marco Polo" translated and edited by Henry Yule in 1921. It allows us to immerse ourselves in Marco Polo's travels through Asia and his encounters with the Far East during his legendary expedition. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of how history shapes our present reality. It sparks curiosity about what life was like centuries ago and invites us to reflect on the continuous evolution of civilizations. With its meticulous details and exquisite composition, this print from Bridgeman Images captures not only Peking's past but also its enduring spirit. It stands as a testament to the power of art in preserving memories and transporting viewers across time and space.
