EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting tea-house of Chinese City, Shanghai. Attributed to the talented English photographer William Saunders, this albumen silver print captures the essence of a bygone era in China's bustling metropolis. The image showcases a serene scene within the tea-house, where patrons gather to indulge in moments of relaxation and socialization. The intricate architectural details are awe-inspiring, with ornate wooden panels adorned with delicate carvings and traditional Chinese motifs. The soft lighting emanating from paper lanterns casts a warm glow over the room, creating an inviting atmosphere that beckons visitors to unwind. As we peer closer into this snapshot frozen in time, we notice individuals engaged in animated conversations while savoring their cups of fragrant tea. Their elegant attire reflects both tradition and modernity - a harmonious blend that characterizes Shanghai's unique cultural identity. Saunders' skillful composition allows us to immerse ourselves fully into this historical moment. We can almost hear the gentle clinking of porcelain teacups and catch whispers carried on wisps of steam rising from each cuppa. This photograph is not merely an artistic representation but also serves as a window into Shanghai's rich heritage during the late 19th century. With its meticulous attention to detail and evocative ambiance, this remarkable albumen silver print invites us on a journey through time – one that unveils the beauty and allure of Chinese City's tea-house culture as captured by William Saunders
