EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Chinese Manners and Customs in Formosa" takes us on a visual journey back to 19th century Taiwan. The print showcases the rich tapestry of traditions and professions that defined the island's cultural landscape during this era. Intriguingly, the artwork captures a bustling scene within a sugar godown or warehouse, where various individuals are engaged in their daily activities. Dressed in vibrant traditional attire, these figures represent different aspects of Taiwanese society at the time. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the clerical jig being performed by one individual. This dance-like movement was an integral part of Chinese customs and rituals, often associated with religious ceremonies or celebrations. It serves as a testament to the importance placed on tradition and spirituality within Taiwanese culture. Beyond its cultural significance, this engraving also offers insights into Taiwan's economic landscape during this period. The presence of sugar-related paraphernalia suggests that sugar production played a vital role in shaping both local industries and international trade connections. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how art can transport us across centuries and continents. Bridgeman Images has masterfully preserved this piece from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic merit but also gain valuable glimpses into Chinese manners and customs in 19th century Formosa (now known as Taiwan).
