EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CHINA: MERCHANTs HOME" showcases the elegant house of a Chinese merchant located in the suburbs of Canton. The steel engraving, created by Thomas Allom in 1843, beautifully captures the essence of this grand residence. The image depicts a stunning exterior with intricate architectural details that reflect the opulence and sophistication of the time. The house is situated along the water front, offering a picturesque view of the Pearl River. A row boat can be seen docked nearby, highlighting transportation as an essential aspect of daily life during this period. The patio and terrace area provide a serene setting for relaxation and leisure activities amidst lush greenery and a meticulously designed landscape. This scene offers glimpses into both nature's beauty and human ingenuity in creating harmonious living spaces. Notably, women dressed in traditional attire are present within this composition, suggesting their involvement or presence within upper-class households during that era. Overall, this remarkable artwork from Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection transports viewers back to mid-19th century China - specifically Guangzhou (Canton) under Ching Dynasty rule. It serves as an invaluable historical document showcasing not only architectural marvels but also cultural practices prevalent at that time.
