Our Special Artists Voyage to China, Chinese Coolies coaling the Steamer at Hong-Kong
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a significant moment in history through the skilled engraving of Matthew White Ridley. This artwork, now part of a private collection, offers us a glimpse into the maritime world of 19th-century China. In this scene, we witness the bustling activity as Chinese coolies diligently refuel the steamer at Hong Kong. The artist's attention to detail allows us to appreciate their tireless efforts as they load coal onto the ship with remarkable precision and efficiency. Their strength and determination are evident in every stroke of Ridley's engraving. This print not only showcases the technical prowess of its creator but also serves as an important historical document. It was originally published in The Illustrated London News on January 18,1873, providing readers with a visual account of life during that era. Through this artwork, we gain insight into both cultural exchange and global trade between Asia and Europe. As we admire this piece today, it reminds us of how art can transcend time and space by preserving moments that might otherwise be forgotten. It is a testament to the power of artistic expression and its ability to capture human experiences from different corners of our world.
