EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "View of Macao, 1847" takes us back to the enchanting coastal country of China in the 19th century. Created by artist Giles for Miss Corner's book "The History of China and India" this engraving beautifully captures the picturesque landscape of Macao. In this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported to a bustling harbour where ships gracefully sail across the sparkling sea. The intricate details showcase various types of sailing vessels that were commonly used for water transport during that era. The port itself exudes a sense of liveliness as it serves as a hub for trade and exploration. Giles' skillful artistry allows us to appreciate Macao's geographical features, with its charming coastline blending harmoniously with the surrounding hillsides. The print perfectly encapsulates the unique charm and allure that made Macau such an important location in history. As we gaze upon this historical gem, we cannot help but be reminded of Miss Julia Corner's contribution to preserving these remarkable moments through her publication. Alongside her collaborators B Clayton and Solomon Lovechild, they have immortalized Thomas Parley's vision in this timeless work. Let this exquisite print serve as a window into the past, reminding us of our rich cultural heritage and igniting our curiosity about distant lands and their fascinating histories.
