This photograph captures the mesmerizing beauty of the Marble Bridge, located within the enchanting grounds of Yuan Ming Yuan, also known as the Old Summer Palace. Taken by renowned photographer John Thomson in 1870 during the late Qing Dynasty, this image showcases a remarkable blend of Chinese architecture and natural landscape. The Marble Bridge stands gracefully over a tranquil pond, its elegant arch reflecting perfectly on the calm water's surface. The intricate details of this imperial structure are brought to life through Thomson's lens, highlighting every curve and carving with precision. Its marble construction symbolizes opulence and grandeur that was characteristic of Chinese palaces during that era.
