EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to Shanghai's bustling Bund in the late 19th century. Titled "View of Bund and recreation ground" this albumen print captures a panoramic view of the iconic Shanghai skyline, with its magnificent buildings lining the waterfront. The image showcases not only the architectural grandeur but also offers a glimpse into the recreational life of that era. The foreground reveals a beautifully landscaped public garden, providing respite amidst the urban chaos. Lush greenery and meticulously maintained flower beds create an oasis within this vibrant cityscape. As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are transported to an era when horse-drawn carriages traversed cobblestone streets and elegantly dressed individuals strolled along the promenade. The atmosphere exudes sophistication and charm, inviting us to imagine what life was like during those times. The meticulous annotation on the mount indicates that this albumen print was created sometime around 1880 or later. It is remarkable how such delicate details have been preserved over time, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry behind capturing this moment as well as its historical significance. This print serves as a testament to Shanghai's rich history and its transformation into one of today's most dynamic metropolises. It reminds us of our connection to the past while offering a window into a bygone era filled with beauty, culture, and leisurely pursuits - all encapsulated within one frame captured by an anonymous photographer long ago.
