EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View Imperial Winter Palace Pekin Showing Artificial Mill" transports us back to October 29,1860, in the heart of Pekin, China. The talented photographer behind this masterpiece is Felice Beato, an English artist born in Italy in 1832. The image showcases the grandeur and opulence of the Imperial Winter Palace against a backdrop of a bustling cityscape. The palace stands tall and majestic with its intricate architecture and ornate details. It exudes power and authority as it overlooks the vibrant streets below. Intriguingly, dominating the foreground is an artificial mill that adds a touch of industrialism to this imperial setting. Its presence hints at China's evolving landscape during this period of history when modernization was taking place. Beato's choice to capture this scene using albumen silver print enhances the visual appeal by adding depth and richness to every detail. The monochrome tones evoke a sense of nostalgia while highlighting both light and shadow play within the composition. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph from August - October 1860, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever through Beato's lens. It serves as a testament to his skillful artistry and ability to capture not only architectural beauty but also historical significance.
