EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us on a visual journey through China during the Colquhoun-Wahab Expedition. The image showcases a series of scenes along the Canton River, each capturing unique aspects of this remarkable adventure. The first scene, titled "The Expectant Wife" portrays a moment of anticipation in the Shau-Hing Gorge. The enlarged sketch provides intricate details, highlighting the emotions and expressions of those involved. Moving forward, we are presented with a breathtaking view of Pak-Shik-Shan, also known as "White Stone Mountain" seen from Tai-Wong. Its grandeur and majesty are truly awe-inspiring. As daybreak illuminates Mong-Kong, we witness an ethereal vista that evokes tranquility and serenity. Further along our expedition route near Tsun-Pan-Hill, we encounter "The Detained Husband". This poignant image captures the essence of longing and separation amidst rugged surroundings. Our exploration continues to Kwei-Yuen where isolated limestone peaks rise like needles against the sky. These natural formations create a dramatic backdrop for our voyage through history. Engraved in 1882 using illustrative techniques typical of Victorian artistry, this vintage print exudes retro charm while preserving moments from an extraordinary expedition into uncharted territories. It serves as both a testament to human curiosity and an invitation to embark on our own journeys of discovery and exploration.
