EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a remarkable piece of history - a Shanghai Omnibus attributed to William Saunders, an English photographer who lived between 1832 and 1892. Taken in China during the years 1870 to 1880, this albumen silver print captures the essence of bustling city life in Shanghai. The image transports us back in time, immersing us in the vibrant streets of old Shanghai. The omnibus itself stands out as a symbol of progress and modernity amidst traditional Chinese architecture. Its ornate design and intricate details reflect both Western influence and local craftsmanship. As we gaze at this photograph, we can almost hear the clatter of hooves on cobblestones and feel the energy emanating from passersby. It is as if time has stood still for just a moment, allowing us to witness daily life in one of China's most dynamic cities over a century ago. Beyond its historical significance, this print also serves as a testament to William Saunders' skillful eye for composition and his ability to capture fleeting moments with precision. Through his lens, he not only documented an era but also preserved it for generations to come. Whether you are an avid collector or simply appreciate art that tells stories, this exquisite albumen silver print offers a glimpse into Shanghai's past like no other medium can provide.
