EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the year 1860, capturing a significant moment in history. The image showcases the exterior of North Fort on Peiho River in Tianjin, China. Standing proudly against the picturesque backdrop of the river, this fort witnessed an intense clash between nations during the Second Opium War. The English and French Entrance is prominently displayed, symbolizing their presence and influence in this foreign land. The architectural details of the fort are beautifully captured by Felice Beato, an Italian-born photographer known for his pioneering work in documenting conflicts and historical events. Henry Hering, a British artist renowned for his attention to detail, collaborated with Beato to create this stunning albumen silver print. Their combined expertise brings forth a visual narrative that speaks volumes about imperialism and international tensions prevalent at that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art from the Liszt Collection, we can't help but be transported into a different era. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and how it continues to shape our present world. Let us appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its ability to evoke emotions and spark curiosity about past events that have shaped our global landscape today.
