EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to 19th century Shanghai, China. The image showcases the bustling cityscape with its towering mountains in the background and a winding river coursing through its heart. A fleet of boats, including a prominent tugboat, dot the waterways, serving as vital means of transportation for both passengers and goods. The German School's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this historic print from their private collection. It was originally featured in Illustrierte Weltgeschichte fur das Volk (Illustrated World History for the People) by Ernst Wiest in Leipzig, 1893. This engraving offers us a glimpse into an era when Shanghai was rapidly developing into a major economic hub. The artwork captures not only the physical landscape but also reflects the rich cultural heritage of China. The presence of Chinese people engaging in daily activities along with other Asian ethnicities highlights Asia's influence on this vibrant metropolis. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of history that allows us to travel back in time and appreciate Shanghai's past glory. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of how far we have come while cherishing our connection to centuries gone by.
