一九○○年十月的一天,美国摄影师詹姆斯.利卡尔顿在一名小伙计的带领下,穿过北京城的街道,来到位于内城西北的一座王府。王府的主人‘受到各国的盛赞’,以至于美国驻华大使对利卡尔顿说,如果为这位王爷拍摄了肖像将是他此次中国之行的‘胜利’。在和王爷寒暄后,他们来到院子里拍照。‘他的外套是厚重的锦缎制成;宽大的袖子起到手套的作用;帽子上有颗精美的红宝石,周围还装饰了一圈珍珠’,利卡尔顿这样描述王府的主人。利卡尔顿拍摄和介绍的这位王爷,就是庆亲王奕劻。 One day in October 1900, American photographer James Ricardon, led by a young man, crossed the streets of Beijing to a palace located northwest of the inner city. The owner of the palace was ’praised by all nations’, so much so that the ambassador to China told Ricardon that if the portrait was shot for the prince, it would be his victorious trip to China. After greeting with the prince, they came to the yard to take pictures. ’His coat was made of heavy damask; his large sleeve acted as a glove; his hat was beautifully rubbed with pearls around it,’ Ricardon described the king’s master. Rick Carlton shot and introduced the prince, is celebrating Prince Wilson.
