EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Demons of Blackwater River Carry Away the Master, 1922" we are transported to a mystical world steeped in Chinese mythology and legend. The image is derived from Edward TC Werner's book, "Myths and Legends of China" published in 1922. The scene unfolds on the shores of Blackwater River, where an ancient tale unravels before our eyes. A vibrant color palette brings life to the enchanting landscape as we witness a dramatic event taking place on the water. A group of fearsome demons emerges from beneath the surface, their grotesque forms contrasting against the serene surroundings. Atop a small boat stands a figure known as "the Master". This individual holds great significance within Chinese folklore as they represent how monkeys ascended to godhood. As we observe with bated breath, it becomes clear that these demonic creatures intend to carry away this revered being. The composition exudes an air of mystery and intrigue, leaving us pondering what fate awaits the Master at the hands of these otherworldly beings. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with legends and religious beliefs throughout history. This remarkable photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also invites us into an extraordinary realm where myth intertwines with reality. It transports us back to early 20th-century China while igniting our imagination and curiosity about its rich cultural heritage.
