EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 19th century, offers a glimpse into the rich history and beauty of the Summer Palace in Peking, now known as Beijing, China. The image, captured around the turn of the 20th century, depicts a serene scene of the palace's Kunming Lake, surrounded by lush greenery and ornate pavilions. The tranquil waters reflect the vibrant colors of the traditional Chinese architecture, transporting viewers back in time. The Summer Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was originally built in 1750 as a retreat for the Emperor and his family. It was later expanded and renovated over the centuries, making it a testament to China's rich cultural heritage. The palace complex, located in the western outskirts of Beijing, covers an impressive area of 2.9 square kilometers and is adorned with numerous gardens, temples, pavilions, and lakes. This photograph, an exquisite example of albumen print, is a valuable addition to any collection of historical travel images. It provides a unique perspective of the Summer Palace during the late 19th century, a time when the world was becoming increasingly interconnected through travel and exploration. The image offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to appreciate the beauty and history of this remarkable place.
