EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to April 1860 in Canton, China. The image titled "Nume Hui Uck Kung" was captured by the talented Felice Beato, an English photographer of Italian descent, and Henry Hering, a British artist. This particular piece is an albumen silver print that beautifully showcases their artistic collaboration. In this photograph, we are transported to the bustling streets of Canton during the mid-19th century. The scene depicts Nume Hui Uck Kung, a prominent figure in Chinese society at that time. Dressed in traditional attire with intricate details and vibrant colors, he exudes power and elegance. The composition skillfully captures both the subject's commanding presence and his surroundings. The narrow streets lined with shops and stalls create a sense of depth and immersion into everyday life in Canton during this period. Beato's expertise shines through as he masterfully manipulates light and shadow to enhance the atmosphere of the image. The soft tones achieved through albumen silver printing add a touch of nostalgia to this remarkable piece. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at how photography allows us to connect with moments long gone. It serves as a testament to Beato's talent for capturing not only people but also their stories within each frame.
