EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magnificent Stone Boat in the Summer Palace, Beijing, China. Taken around 1910 by C. E. LeMunyon and hand-colored with oil or gelatin silver, it showcases the grandeur of this historical landmark. The marble boat, located in Yihe Yuan, was constructed as part of Empress Dowager Cixi's extensive renovations. The Summer Palace is renowned for its stunning architecture and picturesque scenery, and this photograph perfectly encapsulates its beauty. The stone boat itself is a remarkable sight to behold; an exquisite blend of Chinese craftsmanship and Western influences. Intriguingly, the marble boat served as a unique tea house where visitors could indulge in a cup of tea at an astonishing price of 25 sou or 12 1/2 cents during that era. This detail adds a touch of nostalgia to the image, transporting us back to a time when leisurely activities like sipping tea on a majestic vessel were cherished moments. LeMunyon's expert hand-coloring technique brings out every intricate detail and vibrant hue present in this scene from over a century ago. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded not only of the architectural marvels but also of the rich cultural heritage that lies within Beijing's Summer Palace.
