EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Buddhist Triad, 1922" from the renowned book "Myths and Legends of China" by Edward TC Werner. Published in 1922 by George G Harrap & Co, this image beautifully captures the essence of Buddhism in early 20th century China. In the photograph, we see a trio seated in lotus positions amidst a serene natural setting. At the center sits Gautama Siddhartha, also known as Gautama Buddha or Sakyamuni, exuding an aura of tranquility with his halo radiating behind him. His peaceful countenance reflects his deep spiritual wisdom and enlightenment. Flanking Gautama Buddha are two other figures who complete this sacred triad. Although their identities remain unknown, their presence adds to the mystical allure of this composition. The vibrant colors bring life to every detail - from the delicate flowers surrounding them to the lush foliage that envelops them. This portrait is not just a depiction of religious figures; it represents a profound belief system that has shaped Chinese culture for centuries. The lotus position symbolizes purity and enlightenment while emphasizing harmony with nature. Edward TC Werner's contribution through his extensive research on Chinese mythology further enriches our understanding of these timeless legends. This historical artifact serves as a testament to both artistic expression and cultural significance within China during the 1920s.
