Old Photo Exhibition at Taipei Botanical Garden Rekindles Collectors' Memories
The TaipeiBotanical Garden has passed 120 years and has been part of important moments in many people's lives. The Taiwan Forestry Research Institute specially invited the public to submit contributions and collected 150 old photos of the TaipeiBotanical Garden, which are displayed at theBotanical Garden's Imperial Envoy's Office. From the 1918 old map of the TaipeiBotanical Garden, the 1945 aerial photograph, and the glass negatives treasured by theBotanical Garden for many years, through one black-and-white old photo after another, one can see the Botanical Garden accompanying people through a hundred years of time.
Photos Taken at the Botanical Garden: Unforgettable Memories for Old Taipei Residents
The black-and-white old photos exhibited in the hall include: date photos of young men and women, parent-child photos of fathers carrying their children on their backs, and family portraits of whole families posing with theBotanical Garden greenhouse. "Our family took our first family portrait here." "Every Spring Festival, Dad would have us dress neatly and take a family portrait in the park." "Every Sunday, the whole family would definitely go to theBotanical Garden for a walk." "My dad often introduced tree species and flowers to us while taking photos." Old Taipei residents wrote down their stories of theBotanical Garden word by word.
"In that era when material life was not affluent, a 'camera' was simply a luxury, so many people would borrow the free photographers in theBotanical Garden to leave behind important memories of their lives." said Zhu Liping, assistant research fellow at the TaipeiBotanical Garden, in detail.

Wu Wenling wrote even more emotionally beside an old photo of the whole family posing in front of the lotus pond: "Even though I have already moved to Kaohsiung for more than 20 years, when I see this photo, I still feel that my home is at theBotanical Garden."
