EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Tuncham, a city in China, as seen through the eyes of Dutch traveler Johannes Nieuhof. The image showcases a panoramic view of the city with its fortified wall standing tall and proud. In the foreground, boats gracefully glide along the river while people gather on its banks, creating a lively atmosphere. The hand colourised engraving adds an artistic touch to this historical piece, allowing us to appreciate the intricate details and vibrant hues that bring this scene to life. It is evident that Nieuhof was deeply inspired by his travels to China during 1655-1657, as he beautifully portrays every aspect of Tuncham's skyline. The presence of boats and tugboats on the river highlights the importance of water transport in this bustling city. The fortifications surrounding Tuncham serve as a reminder of its strategic significance and provide a glimpse into its rich history. This print from Bridgeman Images not only serves as a visual delight but also offers valuable insights into Chinese culture and architecture during Nieuhof's time. It is truly remarkable how art can transcend time and allow us to experience distant places through one man's perspective.
