EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to August 21,1860, in Tianjin, China. The image titled "Exterior North Fort Peiko River Showing English and French Entrance" was skillfully captured by Felice Beato, an Italian-born English photographer. In this historic snapshot, we are transported to a time when tensions between nations were high. The photograph showcases the exterior of the North Fort Peiko River with its impressive architecture standing tall against the backdrop of a serene river. The fort's strategic location made it a crucial point of interest for both the English and French forces during this period. Beato's expert use of albumen silver print brings out remarkable details in this image. From afar, we can observe two distinct entrances - one designated for the English and another for the French. This visual representation symbolizes their presence in Tianjin as they sought to exert influence over Chinese territory. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece of history frozen in time, we cannot help but reflect on how much has changed since that fateful day in 1860. This photo serves as a testament to Beato's talent as well as an important reminder of our shared pasts and how they continue to shape our present world.
