EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Domestic Life in China, 1861" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century China. Created by W Thomas and commissioned by Negretti and Zambra for publication in the Illustrated London News, this engraving offers a glimpse into the daily lives of Chinese families during that era. The scene depicts a harmonious family setting, with both men and women engaged in their respective roles. The attention to detail is remarkable as it showcases traditional Chinese costumes or national dress worn by each individual. The monochrome effect adds a timeless quality to the image, transporting viewers back to a different time and place. In this snapshot of domestic life, we witness the intricate dynamics between family members - from the caring matriarchal figure attending to her duties as she gazes thoughtfully at her surroundings, to the male figures who exude an air of authority while engaging in conversation. Every character seems immersed in their own thoughts yet connected through familial bonds. As we explore this print further, we are reminded of how art can serve as a window into history. It allows us to appreciate cultural diversity and gain insight into different ways of life across centuries and continents. This particular piece serves as a testament not only to W Thomas' artistic talent but also highlights Negretti and Zambra's commitment to capturing moments that transcend time itself.
