EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Terracotta Army, a symbol of ancient Chinese history and power. Guarding the tomb of Qin Shi Huangdi, the first Emperor of China, these remarkable statues stand tall in Xian, Lintong, Shaanxi province. The intricate carvings and ornate details on each soldier's armor are a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of that era. Dating back to the 3rd century BC, this archaeological discovery continues to amaze visitors from around the world. In this horizontal image captured during daylight, we see a side view with a high angle perspective highlighting rows upon rows of terracotta soldiers standing shoulder-to-shoulder. Their male likenesses create an imposing presence as they protect their emperor even in death. The repetition and large group formation emphasize both their military strength and historical significance as an international landmark. This color image transports us back in time to witness one of China's most iconic treasures firsthand. With no people present in this indoor setting, we can fully appreciate the scale and grandeur of this place of burial traditionally Chinese. As we explore travel destinations like these, our fascination with ancient civilizations is reignited while contemplating their lasting impact on our modern world. Jean-Pierre De Mann/Robert Harding has masterfully captured not just a photograph but also an invitation for all who gaze upon it to delve into history's mysteries through artful photography.
