EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a selection of precious objects from the Chinese Exhibition at Crystal Palace in 1865. These treasured artifacts were brought from the Emperor of China's Summer Palace near Pekin, which had been burnt and plundered in September 1860. Amongst the treasures displayed is a beautifully ornate birdcage clock, intricately designed with delicate filigree and enamel work. The clock's cage is adorned with colorful birds, adding a lively touch to the piece. Another exquisite object in the photograph is an ivory junk or sailing ship. The intricate details of the ivory carving are breathtaking, with every plank, rope, and sail meticulously crafted. The ship's intricate design showcases the exceptional skill of the Chinese artisans. A sardonyx grotto with two playful monkeys is another treasure in the photograph. The sardonyx, a type of banded agate, is used to create the grotto's walls, while the monkeys are made of jade. The grotto's intricate carvings and the lifelike details of the monkeys demonstrate the depth of Chinese artistry and craftsmanship. These treasures were brought to Europe by Captain De Negroni, an officer in the French Army, who played a role in the plundering of the Summer Palace. The objects were displayed at the Chinese Exhibition at Crystal Palace in 1865, providing Europeans with a rare glimpse into the beauty and richness of Chinese culture. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the exquisite objects that once belonged to the Emperor of China.
