EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "CHINA: ANTI-WEST CARTOON. The Beating of the (foreign) Devils and the Burning of the (Christian) Books" captures a significant moment in Chinese history during the late 19th century. Published in Hunan province around 1890, this anti-Western Chinese cartoon reflects the prevailing sentiments of that time. In this thought-provoking image, we witness an unsettling scene where foreign devils are being violently beaten while Christian books are set ablaze. Symbolizing China's resistance against Western influence and Christianity, this artwork sheds light on the discrimination faced by foreigners and their religious beliefs during the Ching Dynasty. As we delve into its historical context, it becomes evident that this cartoon represents a turning point in China's relationship with the West at the turn of the century. It encapsulates deep-rooted frustrations towards Western imperialism and cultural intrusion felt by many Chinese citizens. This powerful visual serves as a reminder of how art can be used to express political ideologies and societal tensions. By examining such artifacts from our past, we gain valuable insights into complex historical narratives that have shaped nations and cultures.
