EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Night Asylum in Shanghai" takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the harsh realities of life in China during that time. The engraving, created by A. Ferdinandus and published in 1882, was intended to illustrate the story "Voyage en Chine" by Doctor Piassetzky. In this haunting image, we are transported to a dimly lit bedroom within an asylum in Shanghai. The scene is filled with a sense of misery and poverty as we witness the plight of those who sought refuge within its walls. The black and white composition adds depth and intensity to the overall atmosphere. The engraving serves as a poignant reminder of the stark inequalities that existed during this era, highlighting both social and economic disparities among individuals living in China at that time. It also speaks to themes of solidarity and empathy as it sheds light on the struggles faced by paupers seeking solace within these institutions. Through this artwork, Alexandre Ferdinandus captures not only the physical conditions but also evokes emotions associated with despair and hopelessness. This powerful depiction allows viewers to reflect upon history while appreciating how far society has come since then. Leonard de Selva's preservation of this historical piece ensures that its impact will continue to resonate with audiences today, reminding us of our shared humanity across time and cultures.
