EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving captures a scene from the Qing Dynasty in China, showcasing Chinese men engaging in the traditional practice of cormorant fishing on a raft in the river. The fishermen skillfully navigate the waters with their trained cormorants, Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis, perched on their boats ready to dive for fish. The intricate details of this print bring to life the rich cultural heritage and unique fishing techniques of ancient China. The costumes worn by the fishermen reflect the fashion trends of that era, adding an element of historical authenticity to the image. Created by Andrea Freschi after Antoine Cardon for Henri-Leonard-Jean-Baptiste Bertin and Jean Baptiste Joseph Breton's publication "China, Its Costumes, Arts, Manufactures," this engraving offers a glimpse into a bygone era filled with tradition and craftsmanship. As we admire this piece of artistry, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of China's oldest fishing practices. The collaboration between these talented artists has preserved this moment in history for us to appreciate and learn from generations to come.
