EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph, titled "CHINESE JUNK, 1847" transports us back to the bustling New York harbor on a sunny day in July 1847. The focal point of the image is the magnificent Chinese junk named Keying, gracefully sailing through the waters. This mid-19th century maritime marvel showcases China's rich seafaring history and its influence on international trade. The Keying stands tall with its vibrant red sails billowing against a clear blue sky. Its intricate exterior design reflects the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into constructing this impressive vessel. The Chinese flag proudly flutters atop its mast, symbolizing national pride and representing China's presence in foreign lands. Currier & Ives, renowned for their artistic depictions of American life during this era, skillfully captured this historic moment in time. Their meticulous lithography technique brings out every minute detail of the scene - from the texture of the ship's wooden hull to each ripple in the water beneath it. This print serves as a reminder of how global connections were being forged even during these early days of international trade. It invites us to imagine what it must have been like for those who witnessed such an exotic sight entering one of America's busiest ports over 170 years ago. Whether you are an enthusiast of maritime history or simply appreciate art that tells stories from our past, this print will surely transport you to another time and place – where East met West on New York Harbor's shimmering waters.
