EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Gate of the Imperial Palace of Beijing, also known as the Forbidden City. Taken from Gaetano Zancon's hand-coloured etching and aquatint in 1819-20, this image showcases the remarkable architecture and grandeur of one of China's most iconic landmarks. The gate stands tall with its tiered roof adorned with intricate details, reflecting traditional Chinese design elements. As you gaze at this photograph, you can almost feel the weight of history that permeates through every stone and brick. The Gate of the Imperial Palace served as a portal to an ancient world where emperors once ruled over vast territories. This royal entrance exudes power and authority, reminding us of a time when only a select few were granted access to such opulent spaces. Beyond these gates lies the sprawling Forbidden City, shrouded in mystery and secrecy for centuries. Its pagoda-like structures rise above lush gardens and courtyards, creating an awe-inspiring sight that has fascinated visitors from around the globe. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography brings this engraving to life, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty. It serves as a reminder that even though time may pass and dynasties may fade away, architectural marvels like these continue to stand as testaments to human ingenuity and creativity.
