EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century print depicts a triumphal arch set against the backdrop of a bustling square in Canton, China. The arch, adorned with intricate branches and foliage, stands proudly as a symbol of grandeur and victory. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of people going about their daily activities in the foreground. The square, filled with men and women, is a vibrant mix of Asian and European influences, reflecting the rich cultural exchange that took place during this period. The Dutch artist Anon, whose identity remains unknown, masterfully captures the essence of this historic moment in time through his skillful use of watercolor and etching techniques. The archway, with its symmetrical design and impressive scale, serves as a striking architectural feature against the lush greenery and blue sky. This beautiful view of Canton, now known as Guangzhou in China, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the world was connected through trade and cultural exchange.
