EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting public tea-gardens of Shanghai, China in 1895. The image showcases a teahouse delicately perched on stilts, its elegant structure mirrored flawlessly in the tranquil waters of a nearby lake. This picturesque scene is captured from the pages of "Round the World in Pictures and Photographs: From London Bridge to Charing Cross via Yokohama and Chicago", published by George Newnes Ltd in London. The architectural beauty of this 19th-century Chinese teahouse is truly remarkable. Its intricate details and traditional design transport us to another era, inviting us to imagine ourselves sipping tea amidst such serene surroundings. The monochrome aesthetic enhances the timeless quality of this photograph, allowing us to appreciate every line and curve with heightened clarity. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing landscape, we are reminded of China's rich cultural heritage and its deep connection with nature. The reflection of the teahouse on the still surface of the lake symbolizes harmony between man-made structures and their natural environment. This print serves as a window into history, offering glimpses into a bygone era when tea gardens were cherished social spaces for relaxation and contemplation. It invites us to explore not only Shanghai's architectural wonders but also its geographical features that have captivated travelers for centuries.
