EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Brouette a voile, en Chine" transports us to 19th century China, offering a glimpse into the cultural diversity and unique modes of transportation found in this ancient land. The engraving, created by an unknown European artist from that era, captures the essence of Chinese life with remarkable detail. In this image, we see a traditional sail cart known as a brouette à voile being operated by a native Chinese individual. The person's attire reflects the fashion trends of their time and region, showcasing the rich tapestry of clothing styles within China. This illustration was originally featured in Louis Figuier's book "Les Races Humaines" published in 1872. The significance of this artwork lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its contribution to ethnological studies. It serves as an important historical document shedding light on different racial types and human beings' diverse appearances across cultures. However, it is essential to approach these depictions with caution due to potential stereotypes or biases associated with ethnology during that period. Thanks to digital restoration techniques applied to this image, we can now appreciate its beauty without distractions caused by age-related deterioration. This particular print is part of a private collection and has been made available through Bridgeman Images for educational purposes. As we admire this enchanting scene from China's past, let us celebrate humanity's rich tapestry while acknowledging the importance of understanding and respecting cultural differences throughout history and today.
