EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by William Milton after Antoine Cardon, depicts a Chinese seller of paper kites during the Qing Dynasty. The vibrant image transports us back in time to the bustling streets of China, where the art of kite-making was a cherished pastime and a popular form of recreation. The seller, dressed in traditional Chinese attire, is shown in the foreground, surrounded by an array of intricately designed kites. The kites take various shapes, including winged men, birds, snakes, and an impressive, large bell. The seller's shop is adorned with colorful fabrics and paper lanterns, adding to the festive atmosphere. The game of kite flying was a beloved sport in China, enjoyed by people of all ages. Kites were made from lightweight materials such as paper, bamboo, and silk, and were often intricately decorated with intricate designs and patterns. The art of kite-making was highly respected, and skilled artisans were sought after to create kites for special occasions and celebrations. This engraving, taken from the book "China, Its Costumes, Arts, Manufactures, etc." published by Howlett and Brimmer in London in 1824, provides a unique glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of China during the Qing Dynasty. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the image transport us to a time when the simple joy of flying a kite brought people together in celebration and delight.
