EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous meeting between two worlds as Li Hongzhang, the Extraordinary Ambassador of China, visits France in the late 19th century. The colour lithograph by Henri Meyer beautifully depicts this historical event, showcasing the intricate details of Li Hongzhang's traditional Chinese costume and hat. Li Hongzhang, known as the Viceroy of Zhili, was an influential diplomat who played a crucial role in shaping China's foreign relations during this time. His visit to France symbolizes the growing diplomatic ties between Asia and Europe. The image exudes a sense of grandeur and cultural exchange as Li Hongzhang stands tall with his distinguished beard while surrounded by French officials. The embassy building serves as a backdrop, representing both the physical presence of China within French borders and their shared commitment to diplomacy. This artwork originally appeared in Le Petit Journal on July 26th, 1896 - a testament to its significance at that time. Today, it remains an important historical document that highlights not only Li Hongzhang's ambassadorial role but also the ever-evolving relationship between nations. With its vibrant colours and attention to detail, this print transports us back in time to witness this extraordinary moment when East met West on diplomatic grounds.
