EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tiencienwey" takes us back in time to the bustling city of Tiencienwey in China. The image showcases a vibrant scene along the river, with boats of various sizes gracefully gliding through the water. It is a hand-colourised engraving that beautifully captures the essence of this ancient city. The Dutch traveler Johannes Nieuhof, known for his extensive travels to China during 1655-1657, created this remarkable artwork. His book on these travels serves as a valuable historical record and insight into Chinese culture at that time. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are transported to an era where life revolved around the river. The busy streets are filled with people going about their daily activities, while boats serve as vital means of transportation and trade. The skillful use of colour brings vibrancy and depth to every detail within the engraving. From tugboats guiding larger vessels to smaller boats carrying goods or passengers, each element contributes to the lively atmosphere depicted in this artwork. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistic talent behind it but also offers a glimpse into China's rich history and cultural heritage. It is truly a captivating piece that invites us to explore and imagine what life was like in Tiencienwey centuries ago.
