EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white albumen print, titled "Portion of the Great Wall," was created by the renowned Italian photographer Felice Beato in the 1860s. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history and grandeur of China's most iconic landmark, the Great Wall. The photograph captures a section of the ancient fortification, nestled amidst the rolling hills and rugged terrain. The Great Wall, an engineering marvel of imperial China, stretches over 13,000 miles and was built to protect the Chinese empire from invasions. Beato's photograph showcases the intricate details of the wall's facade, with its weathered bricks and worn-down stones, standing proudly against the backdrop of the vast, open landscape. The wall's winding path can be seen snaking along the hillside, disappearing into the distance. This photograph is an essential addition to any collection of Asian art and world heritage. It provides a window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the historical significance and architectural beauty of the Great Wall of China. The image has been preserved in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), adding to its cultural and historical value. The Great Wall of China, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, continues to be a source of fascination and inspiration for people around the world. Beato's photograph, with its timeless appeal and historical significance, is a testament to the enduring allure of this ancient wonder.
