EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Chess players" takes us on a visual journey to Pekin (now Beijing) and North China in the late 19th century. Created by Adrien Emmanuel Marie and engraved by T. Choutze, this artwork was originally published in "Le tour du monde" in 1876. The scene depicts two Chinese men engrossed in a game of chess amidst an exterior setting. The intricate details of their clothing and surroundings transport us back to a time when leisurely activities like chess were enjoyed outdoors. The artist's attention to detail is evident as we observe the focused expressions on the players' faces, emphasizing their dedication to the game. This print offers a glimpse into Chinese culture during that era, showcasing not only their love for strategic games but also providing insight into daily life at that time. It serves as a reminder of how art can bridge cultural gaps and allow us to appreciate different traditions. Part of the Selva Collection, this photograph captures the essence of Asian aesthetics while highlighting the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating engravings. Preserved over time, it continues to inspire curiosity about historical voyages and artistic representations from around the world. Leonard de Selva's photography beautifully preserves this piece of history, reminding us of our shared human experiences across cultures through artistry that transcends borders.
