EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Amoy, sketched from the Signal Station" takes us back to 19th century China. The image showcases the coastal city of Amoy (now known as Xiamen) in all its scenic glory. Sketched by an English artist and published in The Illustrated London News on September 3,1853, this print offers a glimpse into a time when Western explorers were fascinated by the mystique of Asia. From the vantage point of the Signal Station, we are treated to a breathtaking view of Amoy's topography. Nestled along the coast, this bustling Chinese city is framed by rolling hills and stretches out towards the vast sea. The intricate details captured in this engraving allow us to appreciate not only its natural beauty but also its vibrant maritime culture. The presence of Chinese locals adds depth and authenticity to this scene. Their daily activities along the coastline give life to the image while reminding us that Amoy was more than just picturesque scenery; it was home to a thriving community with rich traditions and customs. As we admire this historical artwork from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, let our imagination transport us back in time – where East meets West at one of China's most enchanting coastal cities.
