EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph, titled "Temple of the Five Genii and Celebrated Nine Storied Pagoda," is a captivating image from the Classic Photographics Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online. The photograph is part of the important series of views in China produced by Swiss photographer Pierre Joseph Rossier and issued by Negretti and Zambra between 1858 and 1861. These images mark the first time that such high-quality photographs of China were made available to the Western world. The Temple of the Five Genii and the Celebrated Nine Storied Pagoda are prominent landmarks in the Chinese city of Suzhou. The temple, dedicated to the Five Genii of Wealth, Prosperity, Longevity, Literature, and War, is adorned with intricate carvings and colorful decorations. The pagoda, a nine-tiered tower with multiple eaves, is a symbol of Chinese architectural excellence and spiritual devotion. Rossier's photograph beautifully captures the essence of these iconic structures, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of China during the mid-19th century. The image offers a unique perspective on the Eastern world, which was then largely shrouded in mystery and intrigue for the Western audience. Rossier's mastery of the photographic process, combined with the historical significance of the subject matter, makes this photograph a valuable addition to any collection of Chinese art or photographic history.
