EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the turn of the century, offering a glimpse into the grandeur and mystique of Peking's Forbidden City. The image showcases the imposing iron doors that guard the entrance to the Dragon Throne within the imperial palace. Standing tall and ornate, these doors are adorned with intricate decorative motifs that reflect the opulence of China's Ching Dynasty. As we peer through this stereograph, we can almost imagine ourselves transported to a different era. Men dressed in traditional Chinese attire are seated nearby, adding an air of authenticity and historical significance to this scene. A majestic staircase leads up towards the throne room, inviting us to explore further into this architectural marvel. The Forbidden City itself is shrouded in secrecy and exclusivity; it was once off-limits to all but royalty during its heyday. This photograph captures not only its external beauty but also hints at what lies beyond those formidable iron doors - power, authority, and centuries worth of history. Preserved for over a century, this remarkable piece from Granger Art on Demand's carousel collection allows us a rare opportunity to witness firsthand one of China's most iconic landmarks during its early years. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and artistic craftsmanship while reminding us of our shared cultural heritage across time and continents.
