EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1860, offering a glimpse into the rich history of Shanghai City. The image showcases a detailed map that depicts both the Chinese Old Town and foreign concessions during this period. It is an engraving from "Le Tour du Monde, Nouveau journal des Voyages", edited by Edouard Charton and published in Paris. The map provides valuable insights into the layout and development of Shanghai at that time. We can observe the stark contrast between the traditional Chinese architecture dominating the Old Town and the modern structures found within the foreign concessions. This visual representation highlights how different cultures coexisted within one city, each leaving their unique mark on its landscape. The unknown artist behind this masterpiece has skillfully captured every intricate detail with precision, allowing us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic value. The private collection housing this print ensures its preservation for future generations to admire. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings out all these elements beautifully, capturing every nuance of color and texture present in this remarkable piece of art.
