EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases the exquisite showroom of a lantern merchant in Peking, China. Taken from the "China in a Series of Views" collection by George Newenham Wright, this coloured engraving beautifully captures the essence of Chinese culture and trade during the mid-19th century. The image transports us to a time when lanterns were not just functional objects but also works of art. The showroom is adorned with an array of intricately designed lanterns that hang gracefully from the ceiling, casting enchanting shadows on the walls. Each lantern seems to tell its own story, reflecting the rich history and craftsmanship of Chinese artisans. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable; every brushstroke and delicate line brings life to each lantern's unique design. It is evident that Thomas Allom, who engraved this piece after Wright's original painting, had a deep appreciation for Asian aesthetics. This photograph print serves as a reminder of how art can transcend boundaries and capture moments frozen in time. It invites us into this bustling shop where merchants once showcased their wares, enticing customers with their vibrant displays. Whether you are drawn to its historical significance or simply captivated by its beauty, this artwork offers a glimpse into both Chinese trade practices and decorative arts during an era long gone.
