EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting city of Peking, China in 1898. The image, captured by Christian Wilhelm Allers, showcases the magnificent Triumphal gate that stands proudly between the Chinese and Tartar sections of the city. Known as "Unser Eingang in Peking - Pai-Lo Triumphthor zwischen der Chinesen und Tartaren Stadte" this remarkable piece is part of Allers' book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), where he both wrote and illustrated his adventures. The scene depicts a bustling street filled with people from all walks of life, creating a vibrant crowd against a backdrop of wooden buildings and towering walls. The intricate architecture reflects the rich cultural heritage of China while exuding an air of grandeur and history. This lithograph transports us to a time when Peking was still enclosed within its walled boundaries. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the significance that gates hold not only as physical structures but also as symbols bridging different worlds. They serve as portals connecting diverse cultures, inviting exploration and understanding. Christian Wilhelm Allers' skillful composition captures both the beauty and essence of this ancient cityscape, preserving it for generations to come. It serves as a testament to his talent as an artist and storyteller who effortlessly transported readers on an unforgettable journey through his illustrations.
