A propos de cet article

An early example of Tuck Tai's famous Shanghai Bund panorama, showing the old customs house (a repurposed temple) between the grandiose buildings of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank and the Deutsch-Asiatische Bank. The majority of Tuck Tai panoramas post-date 1893, the year in which the temple was demolished and replaced with a western-style building. This example was issued by Tai's studio with additional photographs on the verso. While little is known about Tuck Tai himself, he set the standard for photography in late 19th-century Shanghai, and his panoramas were expensive, but desirable, souvenirs and gifts. The eight panels of this example show the following views and features: Panel 1: looking south towards the Chinese city. Panel 2: the Quai de Wampoo. Panel 3: the end of the French Settlement and the beginning of the British settlement. The majestic Shanghai Club building (torn down in in 1909) appears in the centre, and also visible is the time ball, which was erected in 1884. In the distance is the steeple of St Joseph's Catholic Church. The paddle steamer Ichang is moored in the river. Panel 4: the central portion of the Bund, showing the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank and the Deutsch-Asiatische Bank buildings, as well as the customs house. Panel 5: the large Jardine, Matheson building in front of a water tower, as well as the manicured waterfront. In the foreground is the River Police Station. Panel 6: the British consulate on the far left, the public gardens, and the bandstand. Behind the Garden Bridge, which stretches over Soochow Creek, is the Astor House hotel. On the far right are the German and Japanese consulates. Panel 7: the Nippon Yusen Kaisha warehouses. Panel 8: the eastern extremity of Shanghai, including Jardine's Associated Wharves. The road on the right leads to the countryside. Tuck Tai's patrons could opt to have additional photographs from the studio mounted on the verso of their panorama. The first here, a view of Shanghai's eastern environs drawn from another panorama, is annotated "our house" above. Others include a view down Fuzhou Road (on the right is the building of Zhongxi Da Yaofang, a veteran pharmacy), a bustling market either in Hongkou or on Ninghai East Road, portraits of merchants and a passenger in a rickshaw, and a shot of a convict chain gang. 8 albumen photographs (c.195 x 280 mm) mounted on board and joined concertina-style with linen tape, black quarter sheep boards, light black morocco-grain cloth sides, covers tooled in gilt, front board with red title label lettered and tooled in gilt. Six albumen photographs of similar size mounted on verso, as issued. Panorama with contemporary pencil annotations at head of mounts. Light bowing as often, covers worn, gently recoloured, damp stain at head of rear board, foxing and light fading to panorama photos: a very good example. …
