EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Passing through the Door" we are transported to a world of ancient traditions and diverse cultures. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into the fascinating realm of primitive religions. The image showcases a group of people from various nations, symbolizing the global reach of different belief systems. As they pass through a grand door, each individual represents their respective religion and its unique practices. The intricate details beautifully capture the essence of these non-Christian faiths. Amongst them, we find representatives from Taoism, one of China's oldest religions. This inclusion highlights the significance of Chinese spirituality within Asia and beyond. The engraving invites us to explore how these uncivilized societies perceived religion and sought spiritual enlightenment. Through comparative analysis, G. T Battany's book "Primitive Religions" sheds light on these lesser-known faiths that existed parallel to Christianity during that era. It serves as a valuable resource for those seeking knowledge about Asian religious customs. Asians across generations can appreciate this artwork for its portrayal of their rich heritage and cultural diversity. Bridgeman Images has masterfully preserved this historical gem, allowing us to delve into an era where beliefs shaped civilizations worldwide.
