EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts a common horse-drawn carriage or wagon, known as a Chinese stage cart, from the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912). The Qing Dynasty was the last imperial dynasty of China, known for its rich cultural heritage and artistic achievements. This stage cart, used by all classes, is a testament to the transportation methods of the time. The image, created by Andrea Freschi after Antoine Cardon, was published in "China, Its Costumes, Arts, Manufactures, etc." by Henri-Leonard-Jean-Baptiste Bertin and Jean Baptiste Joseph Breton in 1824. The detailed engraving showcases the intricate design of the cart, with its ornate decorations, high sides, and distinctive roof. The wagoner, dressed in traditional Chinese attire, sits atop the cart, holding the reins of the horses, which are shown in mid-stride. The engraving provides a glimpse into the daily life of China during the Qing Dynasty, offering a window into the past. The use of hand-coloring adds an extra layer of vibrancy and depth to the image, making it a beautiful and intriguing piece of historical art. This engraving is not only a valuable historical document but also an exquisite work of art that showcases the skill and artistry of the engravers and publishers of the time.
