EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century chromolithography print captures the awe-inspiring moment when Genis-Khan, leading his countless hordes, triumphantly crossed the Great Wall of China in 1211. The French School artist skillfully depicts this historic event, showcasing the grandeur and power of Genis-Khan's invasion. The image showcases the immense scale of both the wall and the invading army, creating a sense of overwhelming force. The vibrant colors used in chromolithography bring to life every intricate detail, from the ornate armor worn by Genis-Khan to the architectural marvels that make up this UNESCO World Heritage site. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in Chinese history. It is a testament to human ambition and conquest as well as an homage to one of Asia's most iconic landmarks. The print serves as a reminder of how historical events shape our present reality and offers us an opportunity for reflection on cultural heritage. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully preserves this piece from his private collection, allowing us access into a world long gone but not forgotten. As we admire this work, let us appreciate its artistic merit while acknowledging its significance within Asian history and culture.
