EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting city of Peking, China in 1898. The Hatamen Gate stands tall and proud, welcoming travelers into the walled city. In this picturesque scene, a caravan of camels leisurely make their way past the gate, adding an exotic touch to the bustling atmosphere. Christian Wilhelm Allers, renowned for his travel illustrations, beautifully captures the essence of this ancient Chinese capital. His lithograph from "Rund um die Erde" showcases not only his artistic talent but also his deep appreciation for architectural marvels. The intricate details of the gate and tower are brought to life through Allers' skilled hand. As we gaze upon this image frozen in time, we can't help but be transported to a different era - a time when caravans traversed vast distances carrying goods and stories from far-off lands. The Hatamen Gate becomes more than just an entrance; it becomes a portal into history itself. The significance of this photograph extends beyond its aesthetic appeal. It serves as a testament to China's rich cultural heritage and architectural prowess. This print is not merely an artwork; it is a window into another world that existed over a century ago. Whether you're drawn by its historical value or simply captivated by its beauty, this print is sure to evoke curiosity and wonder about Peking's vibrant past.
