EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection captures a significant moment in history, showcasing two European men in Delhi, India. Taken by the renowned photographer Felice Beato in 1858, this albumen silver print showcases his exceptional talent and eye for detail. In this portrait, one man is seated while the other stands confidently beside him. Both individuals exude an air of authority and curiosity as they gaze into the camera lens. Their Western attire contrasts with their surroundings, emphasizing their foreign presence in Delhi during this time. Felice Beato's English-Italian background adds another layer of complexity to this image. His unique perspective allows us to witness a cultural exchange between East and West through his lens. This photograph serves as a visual testament to the colonial era when Europeans were exploring new territories and encountering diverse cultures. The composition of this portrait is strikingly intimate yet formal at the same time. The use of albumen silver print enhances its timeless quality, preserving every intricate detail for generations to come. As we delve into this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back to 1858 Delhi where two European men stood amidst unfamiliar landscapes and encountered new experiences. It reminds us of our shared history and invites contemplation on how these encounters shaped our world today.
