EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1860s albumen print by Felice Beato transports us back in time to the bustling City of Song Tiang, located in the Province of Wu, China. The photograph showcases an intriguing general store/office with an elegant facade, nestled among the winding paths and lively atmosphere of this historic Asian locale. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region, with local people going about their daily business in the background. The three men in the foreground, dressed in traditional Chinese clothing, add a sense of authenticity to the scene. Felice Beato, an Italian photographer known for his extensive documentation of Asia during the 19th century, expertly captures the architectural details of the building, from the ornate wooden beams to the intricate brickwork. The photograph, with its high contrast and sharp focus, highlights the textures and patterns of the scene. The general store/office stands proudly against the backdrop of the Asian countryside, with its verdant landscape and rolling hills. This photograph is a valuable historical record of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the daily life and architecture of China during the 1860s. Today, this image is part of the esteemed collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the diverse history and cultures of Asia.
