EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white albumen print, titled "Imperial Summer Palace, Peking, 1860," is an enduring testament to the rich history and cultural significance of China's Yuanmingyuan or the Old Palace of Recluse's Garden. The photograph was masterfully captured by the renowned Italian photographer Felice Beato during the mid-1860s. The image showcases the grandeur and intricacy of the Imperial Summer Palace, which once served as a retreat for Chinese emperors and their consorts. The terraced steps leading up to the palace facade, adorned with ornate decorations, are a striking feature of this historic site. The serene landscape, with its lush greenery and tranquil lake, adds to the allure of this architectural marvel. The Old Palace of Recluse's Garden was established in the late 18th century and was renowned for its beautiful gardens, palaces, and temples. However, it was sadly destroyed during the Second Opium War in 1860. This photograph, taken decades before its destruction, offers a rare glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the architectural and historical significance of this once-magnificent palace. The image has been preserved in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors. Felice Beato, an Italian photographer, is known for his extensive work documenting the Far East during the 19th century. His photographic masterpieces, such as this one, provide us with a unique perspective into the history and culture of Asia during a time when travel was a daunting and arduous undertaking.
