EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Lan-Tak-Yau - Chinese boy, Hong Kong, 1898" transports us back to the vibrant streets of late 19th-century China. Created by Christian Wilhelm Allers as part of his book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), this portrait captures the essence of a young Chinese boy with remarkable detail. The image showcases a child adorned in traditional silk robes and sporting pigtails, which were customary for boys during that era. His attire reflects the rich cultural heritage of China, while his hairstyle signifies societal norms and customs. The intricate fabric patterns on his robe add depth and texture to the composition. Allers' artistic prowess shines through in this lithograph as he skillfully portrays not only the physical features but also manages to capture an air of innocence and curiosity in Lan-Tak-Yau's expression. The monochromatic palette enhances every line and contour, allowing us to appreciate each delicate stroke. As we gaze upon this print from over a century ago, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and space. It serves as a window into history, offering glimpses into different cultures and ways of life. This particular piece invites us to explore early 20th-century China through Lan-Tak-Yau's youthful eyes – an invitation that is both enlightening and enchanting.
