EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Exterior Taku North Fort Immediately Capture" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured by the talented photographer Felice Beato on August 21,1860, in Tianjin, China, this albumen silver print showcases the aftermath of a fierce storm that occurred right after the capture of Taku North Fort. The image transports us to a scene filled with both destruction and triumph. The fort's exterior stands tall amidst its battered surroundings, revealing the resilience of its structure against nature's wrath. The dark clouds overhead hint at the intensity of the storm that had just passed through. Felice Beato masterfully captures every detail in this photograph; from the cracks on walls to fallen debris scattered across the ground. It serves as a testament to his skill as an artist and his ability to convey emotion through imagery. This historical moment holds great significance as it marks a turning point in Chinese history. The capture of Taku North Fort during this tumultuous period symbolizes victory for those involved and represents their determination and strength. As we gaze upon this remarkable albumen silver print from Liszt Collection, we are reminded of how art has the power not only to freeze moments in time but also to transport us back into history itself - allowing us to witness pivotal events like these firsthand.
