EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving captures a scene from the Qing Dynasty in China, showcasing a traditional rice mill powered by blindfolded mules turning a massive millstone. The intricate details of this print, created by Andrea Freschi after Antoine Cardon, offer a glimpse into the ancient art of rice production in Chinese culture.
The image is part of Henri-Leonard-Jean-Baptiste Bertin and Jean Baptiste Joseph Breton's renowned work "China, Its Costumes, Arts, Manufactures," published in London in 1824. It beautifully illustrates the fusion of craftsmanship and technology that defined Chinese industry during this period.
As we admire this historical depiction, we are transported back in time to witness the laborious yet essential process of grinding rice into flour. The sight of these blindfolded mules dutifully powering the millstone serves as a poignant reminder of the ingenuity and resourcefulness of past generations.
Through this exquisite engraving, we gain a deeper appreciation for the rich cultural heritage and timeless traditions that continue to shape China's identity today. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of craftsmanship and innovation that has defined Chinese civilization for centuries.
