EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Suburbs of Nanking, and the City Wall, with the Stockades constructed by the Insurgents" takes us back to 19th century China. The image showcases a scene filled with historical significance and cultural richness. In this print, we are transported to the outskirts of Nanking (now known as Nanjing), where rebellion is brewing. The stockades constructed by the insurgents dominate the landscape, serving as a symbol of resistance against oppressive forces. A young Nanking rebel stands proudly in traditional dress, representing bravery and defiance. Boats dotting the river Kwachou add an element of movement and transport to this otherwise static scene. They serve as a reminder that change is constant and that these rebels are determined to fight for their cause. The city wall looms in the background, reminding us of Nanking's ancient history and fortifications. It serves as both protection for its inhabitants and a barrier between opposing forces. This engraving captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects larger themes such as rebellion, power struggles, and resilience within Chinese society during this period. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from an English School artist's perspective for future generations to appreciate its artistic merit while gaining insight into China's complex past.
