EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of The Kushan Monastery, a sanctuary where fish find solace in their old age under the care of Buddhist monks. Taken by a European photographer in the 19th century, this image is part of a private collection that showcases the unique relationship between humans and animals. The photograph was originally featured as an illustration for "China of Today or The Yellow Peril" edited by Charles N Robinson. It offers a glimpse into Chinese history during the late 1800s, highlighting the importance of Buddhism and its compassionate teachings towards all living beings. In this mesmerizing scene, we witness a school of fish gracefully swimming through tranquil waters within the monastery's confines. These aging creatures are nurtured with utmost care by devoted Buddhist monks who embody compassion and respect for life in every form. As we contemplate this remarkable image, it serves as a reminder that even in times of crisis such as "the yellow peril" mentioned in the book, there are sanctuaries like The Kushan Monastery where harmony between humans and nature prevails. This timeless portrayal not only celebrates Asian culture but also illuminates our understanding of aging processes across species boundaries. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we can appreciate this extraordinary photograph that encapsulates both historical significance and natural beauty from centuries past.
