EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph depicts a breathtaking view of the Great Wall of China circa 1800. The image is taken from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, published in Meissen around 1835-1840. Goedsche's ethnographic and anthropological work was a significant contribution to the study of various cultures and customs around the world during the 19th century. The Great Wall of China, an engineering marvel and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stretches over 13,000 miles from east to west, protecting China from invasions. In this image, the wall appears as a winding line against the rugged mountains and vast expanses of open land. The intricate details of the wall's watchtowers, battlements, and winding staircases are beautifully captured, providing a glimpse into the past. The lithograph also reveals the people and their costumes of the time. Soldiers in traditional Chinese armor can be seen patrolling the wall, while civilians dressed in long robes and wide-brimmed hats can be seen in the villages below. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the lithograph bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to a period of rich history and cultural significance. This image is not only a testament to the beauty and grandeur of the Great Wall of China but also a valuable historical document that provides insights into the customs, costumes, and daily life of the Chinese people during the 19th century. The handcolored lithograph is a rare and captivating representation of a time long past, offering us a glimpse into the history and culture of one of the world's most fascinating civilizations.
