EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, taken by Thomas Child during the late 19th century, showcases the moat of the Imperial City in Peking, now known as Beijing, China. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of this ancient city. The Imperial City, the former imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties, was the political and cultural center of the Chinese world for over 800 years. Surrounded by a massive wall and a moat, the complex housed the Forbidden City, the imperial palace, and numerous other palaces, temples, and gardens. The photograph captures the moat in all its glory, reflecting the architecture of the Imperial City's structures, including the imposing city walls and the ornate gates. The calm waters of the moat mirror the serene beauty of the surrounding landscape, with the lush greenery of the countryside visible in the background. As a traveller, gazing at this photograph, one can almost hear the bustling sounds of the city streets and the quiet whispers of the guards on duty. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Imperial City, a landmark that continues to attract visitors from around the world, who come to explore its historical and cultural significance. This photograph, an exquisite example of albumen printing, is a valuable addition to any collection of vintage travel images or Chinese history. It serves as a reminder of the past, a window into the past, and a bridge to the present, connecting us to the vibrant history and rich cultural heritage of China.
