EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Map of North-East China, showing the Gulf of Pechili, the Tien-Tsin (Peiho) River, and the Approaches to Pekin" takes us on a journey through time and space. Created by John Dower in the mid-19th century, this intricate map offers a glimpse into an era when exploration and discovery were at their peak. The detailed illustration showcases the vast region of North-East China with remarkable precision. The Gulf of Pechili dominates the foreground, its waters stretching out towards the horizon. The Tien-Tsin (Peiho) River winds its way through the landscape like a lifeline connecting different parts of this ancient land. As our eyes follow these waterways inland, we are led to one of China's most iconic cities – Pekin (now known as Beijing). The map highlights various approaches to this historic capital city, revealing trade routes and strategic paths that have shaped Chinese history for centuries. With every stroke meticulously engraved by Dower's skilled hand, this print is not only a testament to his artistic talent but also serves as an invaluable historical document. It allows us to explore China's past from afar and appreciate its rich cultural heritage. Whether you are an avid explorer or simply intrigued by cartography, this exquisite print will transport you back in time and immerse you in the beauty and complexity of North-East China.
