EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intriguing artwork titled "Tall White Devil (engraving)" by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century. Housed in a private collection, this engraving was originally created as an illustration for G T Battany's book "Primitive Religions" published by Ward Lock in 1891. The image depicts a tall white devil figure, surrounded by Chinese people and symbolic elements of Taoism. The composition invites us to explore the fascinating world of primitive religions and their influence on Chinese culture. It offers a comparative perspective between non-Christian beliefs and Christianity prevalent during that era. The presence of this uncivilized tall white devil amidst the Chinese population sparks curiosity about its significance within their religious practices. Through this artwork, we are transported to Asia, where diverse religions coexist harmoniously. It serves as a reminder that religion plays a vital role in shaping societies across different nations, including China. This thought-provoking piece sheds light on lesser-known aspects of Asian cultures and encourages us to delve deeper into their rich spiritual heritage. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this historical engraving, allowing art enthusiasts to appreciate its intricate details and cultural context. As we gaze upon this print, our imagination is ignited with questions about ancient traditions and the interplay between various belief systems throughout history.
