Six Panoramic Photographs of the Hall of Supreme Harmony (Tai-he Dian) During the Boxer Rebellion, 19001900年義和團拳亂八國聯軍攻占紫禁城全景照六幅這六張太和殿全景拍攝于庚子囯變之際。自1856年英法聯軍之役後天津條約簽訂,開放通航通商,允許西人深入內地傳教,基督徒的增加引發舊民衆之反感,教案頻出。對於直隸一帶愈演愈烈的私刑暴亂,清廷的態度反復而曖昧——既欲借拳民之力與外洋抗衡,又深畏西方列强的反擊與報復。1900年6月慈禧太后允許義和團進京,成為壓倒駱駝的最後一根稻草,致使英、法、俄、德、日、意、美、奧八國聯合遠征京津。8月15日聯軍攻入紫禁城,帝后倉皇西逃,這六幅相片就是記錄了當年那一刻影像。拍攝者是一位被官兵帶入紫禁城的攝影師。照片清晰度極佳——奏響凱歌的圓號、日本刀上的寒光、將領胸前的徽章,乃至各國的旌旗、列隊、儀態仗,一一可見。現藏家早年間得自攝影師的後人,對於攝影師的名字卻不可追了。流傳百二十年而從未見諸出版,縱有邊角小瑕,也不能掩蓋其珍貴的歷史涵義與收藏價值。Dimensions variable
