EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the mid-19th century, showcasing a remarkable scene from the journey of Shanghai to Moscow. The image depicts a Mongolian emigrant camel, heavily burdened with provisions and various utensils, as it traverses the vast landscapes of China. Emile Bayard's intricate drawing skillfully captures every detail of this arduous expedition. The camel's back is laden with an assortment of necessities for survival on the road: carpets, blankets, and even wood for constructing tent frames. However, what truly catches our attention are the hanging baskets carrying young children. These ingenious contraptions demonstrate the resourcefulness and adaptability of these nomadic people. As we delve into history through this engraving from "Le tour du monde" edited by Edouard Charton in 1864, we can imagine the challenges faced by M. de Bourboulon, France's Minister to China at that time. This visual representation offers a glimpse into his arduous journey across diverse terrains and cultures. The photograph itself is part of Leonard de Selva's private collection and serves as a testament to his passion for preserving historical artifacts like this one. Through its composition and meticulous details, this print transports us back in time while reminding us of humanity's resilience in overcoming geographical barriers.
