EDITORS COMMENTS
The annual festival celebrating the emperor's birthday, revived by Kublai-Khan in 1847, comes to life in this photo print. The scene takes us back to the Chinese imperial court of the 19th century, where royalty and courtiers gather to honor their revered ruler. Brought to us by artist B Clayton and featured in 'The History of China and India' by Miss Julia Corner, this monochrome engraving transports us into a world of tradition and grandeur. As we gaze upon the image, we are immersed in a sea of lanterns illuminating the night sky. The soft glow casts an enchanting ambiance over the festivities as people from all walks of life come together to celebrate this momentous occasion. Dressed in exquisite traditional attire, courtiers pay homage to their emperor with grace and reverence. The attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke captures not only the splendor but also the rich cultural heritage that permeates through every aspect of this celebration. From intricate patterns on robes to ornate decorations adorning buildings, each element tells a story steeped in history. This print serves as a reminder of how ancient traditions can be revived even centuries later. It allows us a glimpse into a time when emperors ruled with authority yet were deeply connected with their people. Through B Clayton's artistry and Miss Corner's meticulous research, we are transported back in time for just a moment - witnessing firsthand an event that shaped Chinese history.
