EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed engraving titled "Pagode japonaise" by the European School in the 19th century. The image, part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for Louis Figuier's book "Les Races Humaines" published by Hachette in 1872. Through digital cleaning techniques, this print offers a pristine representation of the artwork. The engraving depicts a Japanese pagoda surrounded by lush greenery and serene landscapes, evoking a sense of tranquility and spirituality. It serves as an ethnological exploration into the native temples and racial types found in Japan during that era. Intriguingly, this artwork also sheds light on historical stereotypes prevalent at the time. By examining human beings from different races and ethnicities, it highlights both their differences and shared humanity. This portrayal invites viewers to reflect upon notions of race, ethnicity, and cultural diversity. The pagoda itself stands tall as an iconic symbol of Asian architecture within Japan's rich cultural heritage. Its presence represents not only physical structures but also spiritual sanctuaries where people seek solace and connect with their beliefs. Overall, this print provides us with a thought-provoking glimpse into Japan's past through its depiction of native temples while encouraging us to question preconceived notions about race and ethnicity across different cultures.
