EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Japanese preacher in an exquisite engraving by Bernard Picart. The image showcases the intricate details of the preacher's traditional attire and serene expression, transporting us to a world steeped in ancient customs and religious ceremonies. The engraving, created by R Young, is part of the renowned series "Religious Ceremonies and Customs of all Peoples of the World".
