EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the retreat of the Chinese Army from the Rear North Fort in Tianjin, China. Taken on August 21,1860, by renowned photographers Felice Beato and Henry Hering, this albumen silver print showcases their exceptional talent and eye for detail. The image reveals a scene of chaos and movement as soldiers hastily make their way out of the fort. The composition is filled with tension and emotion, as one can almost feel the urgency and desperation emanating from the retreating army. The fort itself stands tall in the background, its walls bearing witness to the intense battle that had taken place. Felice Beato's expertise in capturing war scenes is evident here; his ability to freeze such a dynamic moment in time is truly remarkable. Paired with Henry Hering's technical skill, this photograph becomes an important historical document that offers us a glimpse into a pivotal event during China's tumultuous past. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back to that fateful day in 1860 when conflict raged within these ancient walls. It serves as a reminder of both the horrors of war and our human capacity for resilience.
