EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print captures the grandeur of the Imperial ploughing ceremony in China during the 19th century. The image showcases a momentous event steeped in tradition and symbolism, as members of European School skillfully depict this educational card. The photograph depicts an elaborate celebration where participants don exquisite costumes while engaging in the act of ploughing. This ceremonial display not only pays homage to agriculture but also serves as a commemoration of Chinese farming traditions. The emperor himself presides over this significant occasion, emphasizing its imperial importance. The scene is set amidst lush fields, with trebucien festival decorations adorning the agricultural vehicle used for ploughing. Every detail, from farm equipment to mechanisms, highlights the significance placed on farming and its role in Chinese culture. As we delve into this remarkable image, we witness how transportation plays a vital role in these festivities. Couplings and hitchings are meticulously arranged to transport participants to their designated areas within the celebration grounds. This print not only provides insight into ancient agricultural practices but also offers a glimpse into royal life during that era. His Royal Highness and Her Royal Highness grace us with their presence at this extraordinary event. With its rich historical context and artistic brilliance, this print by Bridgeman Images transports us back in time to experience firsthand one of China's most cherished ceremonies – an ode to both tradition and royalty alike.
