EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving titled "Ancestral Tablet of One Person" by the English School in the 19th century. The artwork, now part of a private collection, was originally featured in G. T. Battany's book "Primitive Religions" published by Ward Lock in 1891. The image depicts a fascinating glimpse into Chinese culture and religion. An ancestral tablet, adorned with intricate carvings and symbols, takes center stage. This sacred object holds great significance for the Chinese people as it represents their connection to their ancestors and serves as a place for reverence and remembrance. The engraving offers us a comparative view of non-Christian religions prevalent in Asia during that era. It sheds light on the primitive beliefs and practices that were considered uncivilized by Western standards at the time. Through this artwork, we are transported to ancient China, where traditions rooted deeply within its rich history continue to shape its society today. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every line etched onto the tablet tells a story of devotion and spirituality. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also recognize its cultural significance as an important artifact representing one person's religious journey within Asian civilization.
