EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling city of Peking (now Beijing) in 1665. The illustration, taken from Jan Nieuhof's renowned book "An Embassy to China" offers a rare glimpse into the architectural marvels and cultural richness of ancient China. The panoramic view showcases the grandeur of Peking, with its towering walls enclosing a vast expanse of buildings and streets. The intricate Chinese architecture is on full display, showcasing elegant pagodas, ornate temples, and traditional courtyard houses. Each structure seems to tell a story of centuries-old history and artistic craftsmanship. As we immerse ourselves in this visual journey, it becomes evident why Nieuhof's book was highly regarded during his time. His detailed engravings captured not only the physical beauty but also the essence of life in Peking. It is as if we are transported back to witness daily activities such as merchants trading goods or locals going about their routines amidst this vibrant metropolis. This historical artifact serves as a testament to the enduring allure of Peking throughout generations. It reminds us that even though time has passed and cities have transformed, there will always be an appreciation for preserving our heritage through art and literature.
