EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Yuan Shi Kai, a prominent military and official of the Qing Dynasty in the Republic of China, having his mat cut. The engraving was featured in "Le Petite Journal" on March 3rd, 1912 and now resides in a private collection. Yuan Shi Kai's stoic expression reflects his position of power and authority during this pivotal time in Chinese history. As he sits before a hairdresser, scissors poised to transform his hairstyle, we catch a glimpse into the personal grooming rituals of an influential figure. The intricate details captured by Stefano Bianchetti's skilled hand bring this historical moment to life. Every stroke of the engraver's instrument showcases the artist's talent and dedication to preserving this significant event. Intriguingly, this image not only portrays Yuan Shi Kai but also offers insight into early 20th-century Chinese society. It serves as a reminder that even those with great power must attend to their personal appearance. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an intimate moment between an esteemed leader and his trusted hairdresser. It is a testament to both the artistry behind engravings like these and their ability to provide us with glimpses into our shared past. As we admire this print from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection today, it reminds us of how history can be preserved through art for generations to come.
