EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a bustling street scene in Canton, China, back in 1898. The talented creator behind this masterpiece is Christian Wilhelm Allers, a renowned artist and writer of the time. In this snapshot of history, we see an array of intriguing elements that paint a vivid picture of life in the city at that time. The focal point of the image is a soldier on the right-hand side, effortlessly puffing on his long pipe. His presence adds an air of authority amidst the lively surroundings. Surrounding him are various signs and symbols that reflect both Chinese culture and Western influence. Amidst the hustle and bustle, men can be seen going about their daily activities while children play innocently nearby. This juxtaposition between adulthood and childhood creates a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. Allers' attention to detail is evident throughout this lithograph as he skillfully captures every aspect with precision. From the intricate harnesses worn by horses to the expressive faces of passersby, each element tells its own story within this larger narrative. This remarkable piece belongs to Allers' book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), where he not only wrote but also illustrated his adventures across different countries. Through his artistry, Allers transports us back in time to experience life as it was over a century ago in Canton's vibrant streets.
