EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Teahouse at Pekin" takes us back to 19th-century China, offering a glimpse into the vibrant street scenes of Beijing. The print, part of a private collection and hand-coloured in the Victorian style, showcases the bustling atmosphere surrounding a traditional teahouse. In this lively depiction, we see men dressed in traditional costumes engaging in various activities. Some are engaged in animated conversations while sipping tea under the shade of parasols, immersing themselves in the rich cultural tradition of tea-drinking. Others are busy tending to their market stalls or negotiating deals with customers. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of camels gracefully passing through the crowded streets. These majestic animals were commonly used for transportation and trade during that era, adding an exotic touch to everyday life. The artist skillfully captures not only the physical surroundings but also conveys a sense of energy and movement within this dynamic cityscape. Every detail - from intricate architectural elements to bustling crowds - invites viewers on a journey through time and space to experience life in historic Peking. This enchanting engraving serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable historical document, allowing us to appreciate China's rich heritage and its people's daily lives during this significant period.
