EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Temple in Mountains of Fokien" transports us to the mystical landscapes of 19th-century China. The English School artist skillfully captures the essence of this remote temple nestled amidst the majestic mountains of Fokien province. The print, part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for G. T. Battany's book "Primitive Religions" published by Ward Lock in 1891. It offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of non-Christian religions and their practices. The scene depicted showcases the beauty and serenity that characterizes Taoism, one of China's most ancient belief systems. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded that there is more to spirituality than what meets the eye in our own familiar traditions. The Temple in Mountains of Fokien stands tall as a symbol not only for Chinese religion but also for Asia as a whole. Its presence represents centuries-old customs and beliefs held dear by countless generations. Through this engraving, we are invited to explore different cultures and broaden our understanding through comparative studies. It serves as a reminder that there is wisdom to be found beyond our own borders and opens up avenues for appreciation and respect towards diverse religious practices worldwide. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from history, allowing us to appreciate its artistic value while immersing ourselves in its cultural significance.
