EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique moment in history - a cricket fight in Pekin, China. Engraved in "The Youth Journal" back in 1884, this artwork by an unknown artist takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing traditional Chinese culture and daily life. Intriguingly, the image showcases not only the game of cricket but also the vibrant street scene surrounding it. The engraving beautifully depicts people dressed in traditional Asian costumes gathered around to witness this fascinating spectacle. It is evident that cricket fighting was more than just a leisure activity; it was deeply rooted in Chinese customs and traditions. Stefano Bianchetti's restoration of this historical piece allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of the engraving. From the intensity on players' faces to the delicate portrayal of insects engaged in combat, each element adds depth and authenticity to this snapshot from another era. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported into a world where games were played differently, where animals took center stage alongside their human counterparts. Cricket fights may have been seen as gambling opportunities for some or simply enjoyed as part of cultural entertainment. This print serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to capturing moments frozen in time. It invites us to explore different cultures through visual storytelling while appreciating their rich heritage and traditions.
