EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, taken in the late 19th century, offers a rare glimpse into the past of the Fourth Yard in the Forbidden City, Imperial Palace, in Peking (Beijing), China. The Forbidden City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties from 1420 to 1912. The Fourth Yard, also known as the "Hall of Preserving Harmony," served as the imperial garden and was the largest and most magnificent garden in the Forbidden City. The photograph, captured during the 1870s, 1880s, or 1890s, showcases the stunning architecture and landscaping of the Fourth Yard. The intricate structures, adorned with colorful decorations and intricate details, stand proudly against the backdrop of lush greenery and tranquil ponds. The traditional Chinese buildings, with their distinctive roofs and ornate carvings, exude an air of grandeur and sophistication. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the daily life of the imperial court during this era. People can be seen strolling through the gardens, enjoying the scenery, and going about their business. The photograph captures the essence of the early Chinese culture, showcasing the traditional clothing, hairstyles, and customs of the time. The albumen print, a popular photographic process during the Victorian era, has been preserved in excellent condition, allowing us to travel back in time and witness the beauty and history of the Fourth Yard in the Forbidden City. The photograph is not only a valuable historical document but also a stunning piece of art that showcases the rich architectural and cultural heritage of China during the late 19th century.
