EDITORS COMMENTS
This steel engraving from 1843 takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Peking, China. The image showcases the showroom of a lantern merchant, offering a glimpse into the vibrant world of Chinese retail during the mid-19th century. The scene is filled with activity as customers browse through an array of beautifully crafted lanterns. A gentleman dressed in traditional clothing engages in conversation with one of the workers, perhaps seeking advice on which lantern would best suit his needs. Meanwhile, another customer can be seen carefully examining a lantern's intricate details. The merchant himself stands proudly amidst his collection, showcasing his craftsmanship and expertise. Lanterns hang from every corner, casting a warm glow that illuminates the room and adds to its enchanting atmosphere. In addition to lanterns, other decorative items catch our attention - fish sculptures swim gracefully in ornate bowls while delicate artwork adorns the walls. This showroom truly embodies the elegance and artistry synonymous with Chinese culture. Captured by Thomas Allom and brought to life through this steel engraving, this image serves as a window into history - transporting us to a time when merchants like these played an essential role in shaping China's rich cultural heritage.
