EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Li-Chi from Chinkiang, China, 1898" captures the essence of a young boy in his native attire during the late 19th century. Created by Christian Wilhelm Allers for his book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), this portrait showcases Li-Chi's unique hairstyle - a partly shaved head with a long pigtail. From a side view, we are drawn to Li-Chi's enigmatic gaze and serene expression. His profile reveals delicate features that reflect both innocence and resilience. The artist masterfully portrays the intricate details of Li-Chi's traditional Chinese clothing, emphasizing the rich cultural heritage of this distant land. As we delve into this image, it transports us back to an era when exploration and discovery were at their peak. Allers' work not only serves as an artistic representation but also as a historical documentation of life in 19th-century China. The monochromatic tones add depth and timelessness to this print, allowing us to appreciate its beauty beyond any commercial use. It is through images like these that we can connect with different cultures and gain insight into our shared human experience. This remarkable piece by Christian Wilhelm Allers reminds us of the power art holds in preserving history while simultaneously evoking emotions that transcend time and place.
