EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic image of Confucius and his disciples, dating back to the 5th century BC. Created in 1847 by artist Giles, this engraving is a part of "The History of China and India" by Miss Corner. Confucius, also known as Kung-fu-tzu, was a renowned Chinese philosopher and thinker who lived from 551 BC to 479 BC. In this illustration, we see Confucius dressed in traditional Chinese attire with a distinctive hat that symbolizes his status as a philosopher. Surrounding him are his devoted disciples, all engaged in deep contemplation under their master's guidance. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to the scene. Confucianism, the philosophy founded by Confucius himself, emphasized moral values such as respect for elders, loyalty to family and society, and striving for personal improvement through education. This religion had a profound influence on Chinese culture throughout history. Giles' artistic interpretation beautifully encapsulates the essence of Confucian teachings through this print. It serves as both a historical record and an homage to one of China's most revered figures.
