EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures a glimpse into the daily life of the Imperial Family during the Qing Dynasty in China. The water cart, loaded with cubical tin vessels filled with river water, is a striking symbol of luxury and privilege. The handcoloured copperplate engraving by Andrea Freschi after Antoine Cardon beautifully depicts this scene from Henri-Leonard-Jean-Baptiste Bertin and Jean Baptiste Joseph Breton's renowned work "China, Its Costumes, Arts, Manufactures, etc."
The attention to detail in this print is truly remarkable - from the intricate design of the wagon to the elegant attire of the driver. It offers a fascinating insight into not only transportation methods but also social status and cultural practices during that time period.
As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported back to a time when horse-drawn carts were essential for transporting goods and people. The combination of European engraving techniques and Chinese subject matter creates a unique fusion of artistic styles that is both visually stunning and historically significant.
Overall, this print serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions of China's imperial past. It is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry that defined this era, making it a valuable addition to any collection celebrating Asian culture and heritage.
