EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Staff Headquarters of Pehtung Fort in Pehtang, China. Captured by the talented Felice Beato, an Italian-born English photographer, and Henry Hering, a British artist, this albumen silver print transports us to August 1st, 1860. The image showcases the impressive architecture of the fort's headquarters with its sturdy walls and intricate details. The composition draws our attention to the grand entrance gate adorned with ornate carvings. It is evident that this structure holds great importance within its surroundings. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness a crucial period when China was undergoing immense change and foreign influence was becoming more prominent. This image serves as a visual testament to the power dynamics between nations during that era. The crispness of detail achieved through albumen silver printing brings out every texture and nuance captured by Beato and Hering's lenses. Their expertise allows us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty but also provides insight into historical events unfolding at that very location. This print is not just an artistic masterpiece; it is also a valuable historical artifact that reminds us of our shared past and encourages further exploration into these transformative moments in world history.
