EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Interior of the Second North Fort, After its Surrender" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured by renowned photographer Felice Beato in collaboration with Henry Hering, this albumen silver print transports us to Tianjin, China on August 21,1860. The image showcases the aftermath of a pivotal event - the surrender of the Second North Fort. The composition is filled with intriguing details that draw our attention. We can see remnants of destruction and chaos scattered across the interior space. Broken walls and debris serve as haunting reminders of the fierce battle that took place within these very walls. Beato's expert use of light and shadow adds depth to the photograph, accentuating every crevice and corner. It allows us to imagine what it must have been like for those who witnessed this scene firsthand. As we gaze at this historic snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded not only of the destructive power of war but also its ability to shape nations and alter destinies. This photograph serves as a powerful testament to human resilience amidst turmoil. The Liszt Collection presents this remarkable piece as an opportunity for viewers to reflect upon history's defining moments while appreciating Beato's artistic vision through his lens.
