EDITORS COMMENTS
This image offers a glimpse into the intricate world of Chinese printing during the Qing Dynasty, as depicted in an engraving by Andrea Freschi after Antoine Cardon from Bertin and Bretons' "China, Its Costumes, Arts, Manufactures, etc." published in London in 1824. The scene unfolds in a traditional Chinese printer's workshop, where the artisans meticulously prepare for the printmaking process. The heart of the workshop is a long table laden with engraved wooden or metal printing boards, each intricately carved with detailed designs. Nearby, stacks of pristine paper sheets await their transformation, while ink pots and brushes are at the ready. The printers, focused intently on their work, carefully align each sheet with the engraved board before applying the ink and pressing down with great precision. The process of creating these prints was a labor-intensive one, requiring a high level of skill and expertise. The engraved boards were first prepared by skilled engravers, who painstakingly carved the designs into the surface. Once the design was complete, the board was inked and a sheet of paper was pressed onto it, transferring the image onto the paper. This process was then repeated for each color in the print, resulting in the intricately detailed and vibrant final product. Hand-coloring was often employed to add depth and richness to the prints, as evidenced by the array of paints and brushes in the workshop. The finished prints were highly prized for their beauty and intricacy, and were often collected as works of art in their own right. This image offers a fascinating window into the world of Chinese printing during the Qing Dynasty, a time when this art form reached new heights of sophistication and artistic expression.
