EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the fascinating world of Chinese junks, as depicted in Giulio Ferrario's renowned work, Le Costume Ancien et Moderne. Dating back to the 1820s-30s, this coloured engraving by Giovanni Bigatti offers a glimpse into the rich maritime heritage of China. In this illustration, two distinct types of junks take center stage against a backdrop of serene waters. These traditional sailing vessels are adorned with vibrant flags and pennants that flutter gracefully in the wind. Each ship represents a unique facet of Chinese culture and trade. The first junk is an impressive merchant vessel brimming with goods from distant lands. Its sturdy structure and intricate design speak volumes about China's prowess as a trading nation during that era. The second junk appears smaller but equally significant - it serves as a tugboat, assisting larger ships through treacherous waterways or crowded ports. Through this artwork, we are transported to an enchanting world where these majestic junks were not merely modes of transportation but symbols of cultural exchange and economic prosperity. It is evident that these vessels played an integral role in shaping Asia's maritime history. As we admire this exquisite print from the Stapleton Collection, let us appreciate the artistry behind it while also acknowledging its historical significance in capturing China's seafaring traditions for generations to come.
