EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to Swatow, circa 1869. The image, captured on an albumen silver print and preserved on a glass negative, showcases the remarkable craftsmanship of early photography. Measuring at an impressive 195 by 269 cm, this photograph transports us to a bustling street scene in Swatow during the late 19th century. The attention to detail is impeccable; every element within the frame tells a story of its own. From the intricately designed architecture to the vibrant street market filled with locals going about their daily lives, this image encapsulates a moment frozen in time. Attributed to John Thomson, a British photographer hailing from Edinburgh, Scotland (1837-1921), this work exemplifies his talent for capturing candid moments that reveal both cultural nuances and historical significance. Thomson's keen eye for composition and ability to capture authentic human experiences are evident throughout his body of work. As we gaze upon this Artokoloro print, we are transported back over 150 years ago when Swatow was alive with energy and rich cultural heritage. It serves as a testament not only to Thomson's skill but also as a reminder of how photography can bridge gaps between different eras and cultures through visual storytelling.
