EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Entrance to Treasury, Canton, China" takes us back in time to April 10,1860. The image was captured by the talented Felice Beato, an English photographer of Italian origin who lived from 1832 to 1909. Assisting him was Henry Hering, a British artist born in 1814 and passed away in 1893. The photograph showcases the grand entrance of the treasury building located in Canton (now Guangzhou), China. The architectural details are exquisite; every curve and line tells a story of craftsmanship and cultural heritage. The viewer is transported into this momentous scene as if standing right at the entrance itself. The use of albumen silver print adds a touch of nostalgia to this already mesmerizing composition. It enhances the contrast between light and shadow, bringing out intricate textures on both stone surfaces and wooden elements. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from over a century ago, we can't help but marvel at how photography has allowed us to preserve moments frozen in time. This particular print serves as a testament to Beato's skillful eye for capturing not only physical structures but also their essence – conveying emotions that transcend generations. Whether displayed in an art gallery or cherished within one's personal collection, this remarkable print offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in history while appreciating the beauty found within architecture and culture alike.
