EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to August 21,1860, in Tianjin, China. The image captures the haunting beauty of the "Interior Angle Taku North Fort" as seen through the lens of Felice Beato, an English photographer born in Italy. The black and white albumen silver print reveals a scene filled with historical significance. The fort's interior is depicted with meticulous detail, showcasing its architectural grandeur and military prowess. The strong stone walls rise high above, adorned with intricate carvings that hint at a rich cultural heritage. As we gaze into this photograph, we can almost feel the weight of history within these ancient walls. It transports us to a time when tensions were high during conflicts between Western powers and China's Qing Dynasty. Beato's mastery behind the camera allows us to appreciate not only his technical skill but also his ability to capture emotion within still images. We are left wondering about the stories hidden within these silent corridors - tales of bravery or perhaps even despair. This print serves as a powerful reminder that photography has always been more than just capturing moments; it is a medium for preserving history and evoking emotions long after those who lived it have passed on.
