EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "European Factories at Canton" takes us back to the bustling trade scene in 19th century China. The image, plate 23 from Sketches of China, beautifully captures the essence of commerce and cultural exchange during that time. Engraved by Eugene Ciceri in 1842, this tinted litho showcases the expertise and artistry of Auguste Borget. The European factories stand tall against the backdrop of a vibrant harbor filled with boats and junks. These warehouses were an integral part of Guangzhou's port, serving as hubs for international trade between Asia and Europe. The scene is alive with activity - tugboats navigate through the waterways while merchants transport goods to and from these bustling hongs (warehouses). The Chinese architecture blends harmoniously with European influences, symbolizing the fusion of cultures brought about by global trade. As we admire this historical snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of how interconnected our world has always been. This print not only celebrates the beauty found within fine art but also sheds light on significant moments in history when nations came together through commerce. Displayed proudly in a private collection belonging to The Stapleton Collection, this piece allows us to appreciate both its artistic merit and its ability to transport us back to a pivotal era where East met West on these shores.
