1880 Bund China Facing Shanghai Unknown Maker
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Facing Bund Shanghai" takes us back to the bustling streets of Shanghai in the late 19th century. The image, captured between 1870 and 1880 by an unknown maker, showcases the iconic waterfront area known as the Bund. The photograph, printed on albumen silver paper, exudes a sense of mystery and intrigue. As we gaze upon it, we are transported to a time when horse-drawn carriages lined the streets and traditional Chinese architecture adorned every corner. In this snapshot of history, we see a vibrant cityscape filled with activity. People from all walks of life can be seen strolling along the promenade or engaging in lively conversations under colorful parasols. The buildings that line the Bund stand tall and proud, reflecting both Western influence and traditional Chinese design. As our eyes wander through this remarkable scene frozen in time, we cannot help but marvel at how much has changed since then. Today's modern skyline may dominate Shanghai's horizon, but this print serves as a reminder of its rich heritage. With its impeccable detail and nostalgic charm, this piece from Liszt Collection is not just a photograph; it is a portal into another era—a testament to human ingenuity and cultural fusion that continues to shape one of China's most dynamic cities today.
