EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "How the Chinese amuse themselves" offers a fascinating glimpse into the pastimes and leisure activities of 20th-century China. Created by Louis Remy Sabattier, this print showcases two traditional forms of entertainment - stilt jumping and dragon maneuvering. Intricately detailed, the illustration depicts individuals skillfully balancing on tall stilts as they engage in stilt jumping, a popular sport that requires immense balance and agility. The participants effortlessly navigate their way through an imaginary obstacle course, showcasing their impressive skills to onlookers. Meanwhile, in another corner of the image, we witness the artful manipulation of dragons. These mythical creatures are brought to life by skilled performers who control their movements with finesse and precision. This ancient tradition symbolizes power and strength while entertaining crowds with its mesmerizing choreography. The vibrant costumes worn by these individuals add an extra layer of visual delight to this scene from early 20th-century China. With every detail meticulously captured in this engraving, viewers can almost hear the cheers and applause that would have accompanied these awe-inspiring performances. Through this lithograph, we are transported back in time to experience how Chinese culture celebrated leisure activities as both a form of entertainment and artistic expression. It serves as a testament to the rich history and diverse traditions that continue to shape Asian cultures today.
