EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, taken in the late 19th century, captures the enchanting walls of the Tartar Tatar City in Peking, Beijing, China. The image, believed to have been taken between the 1870s and 1880s, offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural traditions of China during the imperial era. The photograph, an exquisite example of 19th century albumen print, was likely taken by a European traveler or photographer, such as Thomas Child, who was known for his extensive documentation of China during this period. The image showcases the unique architectural style of the Tartar Tatar City, with its imposing walls and intricate details. The Tartar Tatar City, also known as the Outer City or the Old City, was the historic center of the Chinese capital and the residence of the Manchu imperial clan. The city was renowned for its vibrant markets, mosques, and traditional Tatar culture, which contrasted sharply with the more Chinese-influenced areas of the city. This photograph is an invaluable historical document, providing a rare and fascinating glimpse into the topography and culture of China during the late 19th century. It offers a glimpse into a time when the Chinese empire was at the height of its power and influence, and when the world was beginning to be connected through travel and exploration. The photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of China and its rich cultural heritage.
