EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite automaton in the form of a chariot, pushed by a Chinese attendant and adorned with a clock. The intricate details of this remarkable piece are brought to life through the lens of John Thomson, capturing its beauty for all to admire. Commissioned by the English East India Company in 1766 as a gift for the emperor of China, this automaton is signed by James Cox, an esteemed English craftsman. Crafted from gold, jewels, past jewels, and pearls, it stands as a testament to Georgian metalwork at its finest. The chariot's Chinese design elements add an oriental flair that further enhances its allure. Its golden exterior glimmers under the light while the clock within keeps perfect time. This objet d'art now finds its home in the prestigious Met Museum of Art where visitors can marvel at its magnificence. In this particular photograph, attention is drawn not only to the stunning automaton but also to the presence of a maid or housemaid nearby. Her role remains mysterious yet intriguing against such opulence. Perhaps she serves as a reminder that even grandeur requires maintenance and care. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured this moment in history through their lens, allowing us to appreciate both artistry and craftsmanship from centuries past.
