EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Bridge and Fruit Market at Canton" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century China. The image, captured by French artist Auguste Borget in April 1858, showcases a vibrant scene filled with activity and cultural richness. In the foreground, we see a lively fruit market teeming with vendors showcasing their colorful produce. The variety of fruits on display is truly mesmerizing - from exotic tropical delights to familiar favorites. It's as if the aroma of ripe mangoes and juicy oranges wafts through the air, enticing passersby to indulge in nature's bounty. Beyond the market stalls stands an impressive bridge that spans across a serene river. Its architectural grandeur adds a sense of majesty to this already picturesque setting. As people traverse its sturdy structure, they become part of this timeless scene - connecting communities and cultures. Borget's sketch-like engraving technique lends an artistic touch to this historical documentation. Every line seems purposefully etched onto paper, capturing not just physical details but also emotions felt within these vibrant surroundings. This print transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the daily life and commerce that once thrived in Canton (now Guangzhou). It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity in building magnificent structures like bridges and our eternal connection with nature through bountiful markets offering nourishment for body and soul.
