EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to Shanghai, China in 1865 during a significant moment in history - the Proclamation of French and English chefs. The image showcases a diverse group of individuals gathered together, including French sailors, English officers, and local Chinese residents. The scene is set against a backdrop of a vast body of salty water, symbolizing the sea that brought these cultures together. Ships can be seen in the distance, representing the bustling shipping industry that made Shanghai an important hub for trade and commerce. Intriguingly, this proclamation seems to have united people from different backgrounds through their shared passion for food. The presence of chefs suggests that culinary traditions were highly valued by both French and English communities residing in Shanghai at that time. As we delve into this enchanting engraving further, we are reminded of the Victorian era with its quintessential charm and retro aesthetics. The meticulous details captured by the artist transport us back to a bygone era when travel was primarily done via nautical vessels. This remarkable piece offers us not only a glimpse into historical events but also serves as a testament to human connection across borders. It reminds us how even amidst political tensions or cultural differences, our love for good food has always had the power to bring people together.
