EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the end of the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the historical map of the Pearl River Delta. Crafted through woodcut techniques, this exquisite piece showcases an intricate depiction of Guangzhou (Canton), Macau, and Hong Kong - three prominent cities that played significant roles in shaping Chinese and British cultures. The map's vertical orientation allows us to explore every detail with nostalgia. The coastline along the South China Sea unfolds before our eyes, revealing a bay filled with water vessels navigating through its vastness. This visual representation transports us to an era marked by colonialism and trade routes bustling with activity. As we study this remarkable wood engraving, it becomes evident how each city had its distinct character. Guangzhou stands as a testament to Chinese culture, while Macau reflects Portuguese influences due to its history as a former colony. Lastly, Hong Kong emerges as a vibrant hub where British culture seamlessly intertwines with local traditions. This historical artifact not only serves as a valuable resource for understanding Asia's past but also reminds us of the enduring connections between nations across time. Its presence evokes curiosity about how these cities have evolved over centuries while preserving their unique identities within the dynamic landscape of the Pearl River Delta region in Guangdong province
