EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving titled "Daily Life of the Chinese: Tea and tobacco" offers a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions of China. The unknown artist skillfully captures a scene that revolves around two essential elements of Chinese daily life - tea and tobacco. In this intricately detailed print, we see men and women engaged in various activities related to these cherished commodities. A group sits together, savoring cups of fragrant tea while engaging in lively conversation. The delicate porcelain teacups reflect the elegance and refinement associated with Chinese tea ceremonies. Adjacent to them, another group is depicted indulging in the ritualistic act of smoking tobacco from long pipes. This practice not only served as a means for relaxation but also held great social significance within Chinese society. The composition exudes an air of tranquility as people go about their routines amidst traditional architecture adorned with vibrant colors and intricate patterns. Every element within this engraving tells a story, offering us valuable insights into the customs and rituals that shaped everyday life in historical China. Preserved by Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this remarkable piece serves as both an artistic treasure and a historical document. Thanks to Leonard de Selva's photographical expertise, we can now appreciate this enchanting artwork without any copyright restrictions.
