EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Li Hung Chang, a prominent figure in Chinese history. The illustration is part of the Twelve Portraits - Second Series, published in 1899 and beautifully hand-coloured using woodblock techniques. Li Hung Chang (1823-1901) was an extraordinary innovator, statesman, and negotiator who made significant contributions to China's development during his lifetime. As depicted in this image, he exudes power and authority with his commanding presence. Known for founding the Chinese navy and serving as the Viceroy of Nanking, Li played a crucial role in modernizing China's military capabilities. His strategic leadership skills were also evident during negotiations with foreign powers such as Britain's General Gordon. The illustration captures Li's Asian heritage while highlighting his international influence on global politics. It serves as a reminder of his pivotal role in shaping China's trajectory during the late 19th century. Through this photo print, viewers are transported back to a time when Li Hung Chang was at the forefront of political affairs in Chihli province from 1865 to 1870 and later throughout Asia. This artwork not only celebrates Li's achievements but also pays homage to his enduring legacy as one of China's most influential figures.
