EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Chinese at Prayer" takes us back to 19th century China. The image showcases a moment of deep spirituality as Chinese individuals engage in prayer. Created by an English School artist, this print is a testament to the cultural exchange between East and West during that era. The scene depicted here is from "The Childs Companion and Juvenile Instructor" a publication by the Religious Tract Society in 1869. It beautifully captures the essence of religious devotion among the Chinese community at that time. The subjects are shown with their eyes closed, hands clasped together, and heads bowed down in reverence. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported to a different time and place - early 19th century China. The intricate details of the engraving highlight not only the artistic skill but also provide valuable insights into Chinese history. This print serves as a reminder of the rich tapestry of cultures that exist around the world. It celebrates diversity while emphasizing our shared human experiences through prayer and spirituality.
