EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of Fountain Gate at Yuan Ming Yuan, also known as the Old Summer Palace, in Beijing. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print showcases the intricate architectural details and ornate decorations that adorned this palatial complex. Yuan Ming Yuan was a magnificent palace and garden complex built by Qing dynasty emperors during the 18th and early 19th centuries. The Fountain Gate served as a majestic entrance to this sprawling estate located just eight kilometers northwest of Beijing's Imperial City walls. In this image, we see a fusion of European and Asian influences in its design. The gateway exudes elegance with its decorative elements, while fountains add a touch of serenity to the scene. This photograph allows us to appreciate both the beauty of Chinese architecture and the artistry brought by foreign photographers during that era. The Old Summer Palace holds great historical significance for China, making this print a valuable piece from our private collection. It serves as a reminder of an opulent past while showcasing artistic excellence through photography. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured over a century ago, it transports us back in time to experience firsthand the splendor and magnificence that once graced these hallowed grounds.
