EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into a domestic altar adorned with The Smiling Buddha. Taken from an illustration in The Universal Geography with Illustrations and Maps, this image showcases the exquisite artistry of a sculpture that emanates tranquility and spiritual significance. The serene figure of The Smiling Buddha takes center stage on the altar, radiating an aura of peace and contentment. Its intricate details are beautifully captured in monochrome, highlighting every delicate curve and expression. This artwork represents not only the religious devotion but also the artistic brilliance prevalent during this period. Set against a backdrop of nature's beauty, we can see lush plants adding vibrancy to this sacred space. It is evident that great care has been taken to create an atmosphere conducive to contemplation and worship. This domestic altar serves as a sanctuary for those seeking solace and connection with their spirituality. Originating from China, this statue reflects the rich cultural heritage of Buddhism—a religion deeply rooted in compassion, enlightenment, and inner peace. As we gaze upon this engraving brought to life through photography, we are reminded of the enduring power of faith across time and borders. This remarkable print allows us to appreciate both the historical significance of 19th-century religious practices as well as the timeless beauty found within Buddhist art forms. Created by an unknown artist whose talent shines through their work preserved by The Print Collector7 (not affiliated with any commercial use), it continues to captivate viewers
