EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white albumen print, titled "Cantonese Masonry Pagoda" by Felice Beato, transports us back to the 1860s in China. The photograph showcases an intricately decorated pagoda, a quintessential architectural masterpiece of Cantonese masonry. The pagoda, with its multi-tiered design, is adorned with intricate stonework and ornate decorations, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of China. Located in an unspecified region of Canton, this historic building stands proudly against a serene landscape, its facade bathed in the soft light of an overcast day. The use of monochrome photography enhances the textures and patterns of the pagoda's exterior, bringing out the intricacies of the masonry work in a striking manner. Felice Beato, an Italian photographer, captured this image during the nineteenth century, a time when photography was still in its infancy. Beato was known for his extensive travels and his documentation of various cultures and landscapes, making this photograph an invaluable addition to the annals of history. The Cantonese Masonry Pagoda, now a cherished relic of the past, continues to inspire awe and admiration for its beauty and historical significance. Today, this photograph is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to the enduring allure of China's architectural heritage.
