EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to China in the 1920s, showcasing a remarkable piece of history - the Great Wall of China. Built by Hwang Ti in 214 B. C. , this architectural marvel stretches an astonishing length of 1,500 miles. However, it is at the Nankow Pass where we witness its best-preserved section. The image reveals the grandeur and resilience of this ancient fortification. The masonry work, brick parapet, and towers stand tall and unharmed against time's relentless passage. Nestled amidst breathtaking landscapes, the Nankow Pass (also known as Juyong Pass) represents one of three greatest mountain passes along the Great Wall. As we delve into this snapshot from Geographical Magazine's Volume 2 in the early twentieth century, we are transported to an era when exploration and discovery were paramount. The print collector has captured not only a scenic view but also a testament to human ingenuity and determination. With vibrant colors that bring life to every stone and tower depicted here, this photograph serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and cultural legacy. It invites us to reflect on centuries-old craftsmanship while appreciating nature's harmonious embrace with man-made structures. Let this image transport you back in time as you immerse yourself in the beauty and historical significance that lies within these walls – an enduring symbol of China's rich past.
