8661069 Professional Politicians (litho) by Wright, Henry Charles Seppings (1850-1937); Private Collection; (add.info.: Professional Politicians. In BC 781 the capital was moved eastward, and from that time, say Chinese writers, "the feudal bond was slackened." States began to indulge in internecine warfare, the object being always the acquisition of territory, and these conditions produced that singular being, the professional politician, who went about offering advice to the rulers of States and generally selling his services to the highest bidder.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Henry Charles Seppings Wright, titled "Professional Politicians," offers a glimpse into the intriguing world of ancient Chinese politics. The image depicts a group of statesmen engaged in intense discussion, each vying for power and influence in a time of feudal warfare and territorial expansion.
During this tumultuous period in BC 781, as described by Chinese writers, the feudal bond was weakening, leading to increased competition among states and the rise of professional politicians. These cunning individuals traveled from state to state, offering their advice and services to the highest bidder in exchange for political favor.
The intricate details captured in this print bring to life the complexity of political maneuvering and power struggles that have been prevalent throughout history. From the subtle expressions on each politician's face to the meticulous rendering of their attire, every aspect of this artwork tells a story of ambition and intrigue.
As we gaze upon this historical scene, we are reminded of the timeless nature of politics and human nature itself. The legacy of these professional politicians lives on through centuries, leaving behind a rich tapestry of stories that continue to fascinate us today.
