EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1895 showcases a Chinese archer, offering us a glimpse into the late 19th-century Chinese army. The intricate details of this print allow us to appreciate the craftsmanship and skill involved in creating such an exquisite piece of art. The archer stands tall and proud, his bow drawn back with precision as he prepares to release an arrow towards its target. His traditional attire reflects the rich cultural heritage of China, adorned with elements like a quiver filled with arrows and the iconic pigtail hairstyle known as "queue". Surrounded by his fellow troops, we witness the unity and strength that characterized the Chinese army during this era. Each soldier is poised for action, ready to defend their nation against any threat that may arise. As we delve into this historical artwork, it serves as a reminder of China's long-standing military tradition and its commitment to safeguarding its borders. It also provides insight into how warfare was conducted during this time period – relying on skilled marksmanship rather than modern weaponry. Through The Granger Collection's expertise in preserving historical prints like these, we are able to appreciate not only the artistic value but also gain valuable knowledge about different cultures' military practices throughout history.
