EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Chinese history - the arrival of Emperor K'ang-Hsi for the celebration of his 60th birthday in Peking. The scene is bustling with activity as a diverse crowd gathers near a podium, eagerly awaiting the emperor's presence. Men from all walks of life are present, representing different social classes and professions. Their anticipation is palpable, reflecting their admiration and respect for their esteemed ruler. Meanwhile, women observe the spectacle from courtyards nearby, their curiosity piqued by this grand event unfolding before them. Shopkeepers also take part in this historic occasion, peering out from their businesses to catch a glimpse of the festivities. The streets are alive with energy as people come together to honor and celebrate their beloved emperor. This early 18th-century Chinese woodcut beautifully depicts an aerial view of Peking during this joyous celebration. Every detail has been meticulously engraved to capture the essence of this momentous occasion. The Granger Collection has preserved this remarkable piece of history through its Carousel collection. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage and grandeur that surrounded Emperor K'ang-Hsi's reign in China during the 17th century.
