Beijing Peking Rich Slides Tombs Shewing
EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide image transports us back in time to the late 19th century in China, specifically to the Rich Man's Garden, also known as the Shewing Tomb Gardens, located in Peking, now modern-day Beijing. The photo offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of Chinese gardens during the final years of the Qing Dynasty. The Rich Man's Garden was a popular tourist destination for Western travelers, who marveled at the intricately designed landscapes, ancient tombs, and the wealth and power symbolized by the site. The garden was renowned for its vast size and elaborate structures, including pavilions, temples, bridges, and winding waterways. In this photograph, we see a serene scene of the garden, with lush greenery, ornate structures, and a tranquil lake reflecting the sky above. The tombs, visible in the background, are adorned with intricate carvings and decorative elements, showcasing the unique blend of Chinese and Buddhist architectural styles. The lantern slide's muted colors and soft focus add to the dreamlike quality of the image, transporting us to a time when travel was an adventure, and the world seemed a much larger and more mysterious place. This historical snapshot offers a rare glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and cultural richness of China during the late 19th century.
