EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled "Album, 1661" by Bin Xie, transports us back to the 17th century with an intriguing glimpse into rural life during the Qing Dynasty in China. Two agricultural workers, dressed in traditional clothing, are depicted walking along a dusty road, each carrying a heavy shoulder pole laden with produce. The image, created using ink on silk, showcases the raw beauty and authenticity of the era, with the workers' weathered faces and the horses they lead adding to the scene's authenticity. The interaction between the two men and their animals is a testament to the close-knit relationship between man and nature during this period. The image is a poignant reminder of the hard labor and dedication required for agriculture in ancient China, where farming was the backbone of the economy. The photograph is a valuable addition to the extensive collection of the Musée Cernuschi in Paris, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Asia and the continent's agricultural traditions. The black and white medium further enhances the timeless quality of the image, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of the scene without the distraction of color. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a historical document, providing us with a glimpse into the daily lives of people during the Qing Dynasty. The image's title, "Album, 1661," suggests that it may have originally been part of a larger collection, making it an even more precious artifact. Overall, this photograph by Bin Xie is a must-see for anyone interested in Chinese history, agriculture, or the human condition.
