EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century engraving, derived from a 17th century original, offers a breathtaking view of the ancient Chinese city of Nanking, also known as Nanjing. The image transports us back in time, providing a glimpse into the rich history and culture of China during the late Ming Dynasty. Nestled amidst the lush, rolling countryside, the city walls of Nanking stand proudly, a testament to the architectural prowess and military might of the era. The walls, encircling the city, protected its inhabitants from external threats and ensured the preservation of the unique cultural heritage within. The engraving also reveals several pagodas, their distinctive conical roofs and intricate designs adding to the picturesque scene. These pagodas, which have been an integral part of Chinese architecture for over a thousand years, served as religious and spiritual centers for the people. The palm trees in the foreground, a common feature of Oriental art, add a touch of exoticism to the image, further emphasizing the far-off, mysterious land that China represented to the Western world during the 17th and 18th centuries. This engraving, created in the year 1670, is a historical treasure in its own right. It is a visual representation of a time when the world was just beginning to be connected through trade and exploration, and when the East and the West were just starting to influence each other in profound ways. The original of this engraving, created in 1653 by the Dutch cartographer and traveler, Frederik de Houtman or Nieuhof, is a rare and valuable document in the annals of world history. This 18th century engraving, a faithful reproduction of the original, continues to captivate and inspire, offering us a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring allure of the Orient.
