EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the late 19th century takes us back to a bustling street scene in Canton, China. The wood engraving beautifully captures the essence of daily life during that era. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a time when the city was alive with activity. The streets are lined with traditional Chinese houses and shops, their exteriors adorned with vibrant colors and intricate designs. Men can be seen going about their daily routines, some engaged in selling goods while others go about their business. The storefronts display an array of products, enticing passersby to explore what they have to offer. Amidst the hustle and bustle, laundry hangs from shuttered windows adding a touch of domesticity amidst the commercial hubbub. This glimpse into everyday life offers a fascinating insight into how people lived during this period. Canton (now known as Guangzhou) was an important trading port during the Ching Dynasty, attracting merchants from all over China and beyond. This engraving serves as a testament to its significance as it showcases both local vendors and foreign influences present in the city at that time. As we admire this historical gem captured by The Granger Collection in New York, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its ability to transport us back through time, allowing us to witness firsthand a moment frozen forever in history's embrace.
