EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Interior Angle Taku North Fort Immediately Capture" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Taken by the talented Felice Beato in Tianjin, China on August 21,1860, this albumen silver print captures the aftermath of a fierce storm that led to the capture of Taku North Fort. The image transports us inside the fort's interior, revealing a scene of chaos and destruction. The powerful storm has left its mark on every corner of the room - debris scattered across the floor, shattered windows allowing glimpses of sunlight to pierce through thick clouds of dust. The walls bear witness to intense battles fought within these very walls. Beato's skilled composition draws our attention towards an eerie stillness amidst the turmoil. Our eyes are drawn towards a solitary figure standing tall amidst the ruins – perhaps a victorious soldier or an explorer documenting this historic event. Through this photograph, Beato not only documents a pivotal moment but also invites us to reflect upon themes such as war, resilience, and human strength in times of adversity. It serves as both a historical record and an artistic masterpiece that allows us to glimpse into another era. As we gaze at this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, we are reminded once again how photography can freeze time and provide us with invaluable insights into our shared past.
