倫敦蘇富比將于2013年5月14日舉行「旅行、地圖及自然歷史」拍賣會(huì)，隆重呈獻(xiàn)一系列中國(guó)百年珍貴老照片，包括歷首張?zhí)旖虼蠊僚谂_(tái)全景圖及首張北京城全景圖。本輯照片由攝影師菲力斯•比托(Felice Beato)于1860年拍攝，展現(xiàn)與今日中國(guó)截然不同、且為人所淡忘的景觀與城市風(fēng)貌。本系列18張照片中，最為矚目的實(shí)為一幅氣勢(shì)磅礴的北京城全景圖。這幅作品為攝影師于1860年10月24日在老北京城墻上拍攝，是歷首幅北京城全景圖，呈現(xiàn)出當(dāng)時(shí)北京城以及紫禁城的內(nèi)景面貌。此外，本輯作品尚包括圓明園、頤和園，以及北京其他風(fēng)景勝地的照片，盡顯舊時(shí)京城風(fēng)光;整輯照片估價(jià)為10萬(wàn)至20萬(wàn)英鎊/125萬(wàn)至250萬(wàn)港元。
Some of the earliest photographs of old Beijing are set to go up for sale in London on Tuesday. Shot more than 150 years ago, the 18 pictures reveal a Chinese capital long since gone. At the time, they were the first images of China most Europeans had ever seen.When they come up for auction at Sotheby’s, it’s believed bidders from around the world -- and in particular China -- will value the pictures at around half a million dollars. The price tag on these photographs a reflection of their unique nature.
Shot by the British-Italian photographer Felice Beato they’re extraordinary on a number of levels.
Photography was in its very infancy when incredibly in 1860 Beato took his equipment on the road to snapping these unparalleled images.
Beato’s technical excellence demonstrated here by the world’s first panoramic shot of the imperial splendour of China’s ancient capital..:
Among Beato’s portfolio images from 150 years ago that are unique … of a China changed forever by time.
These images were shot at a time of traumatic change in China, Beato came to the country as a 28 year-old war photographer, along with invading Anglo-French forces during the Second Opium War in 1860.
One photograph on the auction catalogue’s cover page is the only surviving record of the Summer Palace, pictured shortly before it was torched by British and French troops.
"With private collectors on the phone from China among the bidders, there’s every likelihood these pictures will join a growing global tide of Chinese antiquity returning to its country of origin. And that say experts here at Sotheby’s is exactly the way it should be," CCTV correspondent Richard Bestic said.
