EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1843, offering a glimpse of one of the world's most iconic landmarks - The Great Wall of China. Created by the talented artist Thomas Allom, this masterpiece is part of the renowned series "China in a series of Views" by George Newenham Wright. The image showcases the awe-inspiring grandeur and architectural marvels that define this ancient fortification. Stretching across vast mountainous landscapes, it stands as a testament to China's rich history and cultural heritage. The vibrant colors used in this engraving bring life to every intricate detail, capturing the essence of this magnificent structure. As we explore further into the scene, we notice people carrying palanquins along its towering walls. This provides us with a sense of scale and emphasizes how monumental and expansive The Great Wall truly is. It served not only as a defense mechanism but also as an important geographical feature that shaped China's landscape. Thomas Allom's artistic vision combined with George Newenham Wright's passion for documenting historical sites has resulted in an extraordinary piece from their collaborative collection - Historica Graphica Collection. This photograph print allows us to travel through time and experience firsthand what it was like for travelers journeying through China during the 19th century.
