EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving, we are transported back in time to 19th century China. The image depicts the renowned Dr. Piassetzky on his travels through the country, always accompanied by Chinese locals. This fascinating scene was captured by Tofani and later engraved for publication in "Le Tour du Monde, Nouveau journal des Voyages" edited by Edouard Charton in Paris, 1882. The composition showcases a bustling street scene with intricate details of traditional Chinese architecture and lively market stalls. Amidst the vibrant chaos, Dr. Piassetzky stands tall and distinguished, exuding an air of authority as he converses with his local companions. Dr. Piassetzky's presence is a testament to the importance of cultural exchange and collaboration during this era of exploration and discovery. As a doctor, he likely embarked on this journey to gain insights into traditional Chinese medicine or perhaps share his own medical knowledge with the locals. This historical print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of the enduring human desire for connection across borders. It invites us to reflect on how travel can bridge gaps between cultures while simultaneously celebrating our shared humanity. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully preserves this enchanting piece of history for future generations to appreciate and learn from its rich narrative about cross-cultural encounters in times gone by.
