EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures a chilling scene from China's dark past. Entitled "Cannibalism in China, from a Chinese drawing, 1870" this engraving by the French School of the 19th century offers a glimpse into a time of desperation and unimaginable horror. The image portrays emaciated figures, their bodies ravaged by starvation, as they engage in acts of cannibalism. The Asian faces tell stories of suffering and despair, highlighting the extreme measures taken to survive during times of famine. The composition is stark and unsettling, leaving viewers with an indelible impression. It serves as a reminder that hunger can drive humanity to its darkest depths, forcing individuals to abandon all moral boundaries for sustenance. Preserved within the archives of Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this photograph stands as both historical documentation and artistic expression. Its inclusion in Bridgeman Images' collection ensures that it will continue to provoke contemplation on themes such as survival instincts, cultural practices, and the limits of human endurance. While disturbing in nature due to its subject matter depicting cannibalistic acts committed out of sheer necessity rather than choice or tradition - it remains an important testament to our shared history. This print challenges us to confront uncomfortable truths about our capacity for both compassion and cruelty when faced with dire circumstances.
