EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Entrance into the City of Amoy, 1843" takes us back to a bustling street in 19th century China. The artist, S Fisher, skillfully captures the essence of daily life during this era through intricate details and monochrome aesthetics. As we gaze upon this scene, our eyes are drawn to a grand gateway that serves as the entrance to the city. The ornate facade of the building exterior adds an air of elegance and charm to the surroundings. People from all walks of life can be seen going about their day - men engaged in various occupations, socializing or simply taking a moment to rest on the roadside. The print provides us with a glimpse into Chinese culture at that time. It showcases not only the architecture but also highlights elements such as traditional clothing and hairstyles worn by both men and women. This oriental setting exudes an aura of mystery and intrigue. Thomas Allom's engraving beautifully brings out every intricate detail while capturing the essence of Amoy (now known as Xiamen) in Fujian province. Published by Fisher, Son & Co. , London & Paris in 1843 for "China Illustrated" this historical artwork has stood the test of time. As we admire this remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection, it transports us back to a vibrant period where city life thrived amidst rich cultural heritage - truly encapsulating China's fascinating history.
