EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Chinese waterman and his barge, 18th century" takes us on a journey back in time to the vibrant world of ancient China. The image showcases a Chinese waterman seated at the front of his boat, accompanied by a magnificent gong that adds an air of grandeur to the scene. Two bamboo poles lie within the vessel, hinting at their purpose as tools for navigation or perhaps even fishing. The hand-colored copperplate engraving beautifully captures the essence of traditional Chinese attire worn by both men and women during this period. It offers us a glimpse into the customs and manners prevalent in Chinese society at that time. Created by William Alexander after an illustration by Jean-Baptiste Eyries, this artwork is part of Eyries' renowned publication "La Chine: Costumes, Moeurs et Usages des Chinois" (China: Costumes, Manners and Mores of the Chinese). Eyries was not only a geographer but also an author and translator who dedicated himself to documenting various aspects of Chinese culture. As we admire this stunning print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported to another era where bustling rivers served as vital means of transportation for people like our waterman. This enchanting depiction allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the rich history behind traditional Asian customs and costumes.
