EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a set of etchings commissioned by Emperor Qianlong during the Qing Dynasty in China. Created between 1765 and 1774, these etchings vividly depict the bravery and valor of his generals and soldiers in quelling rebellions in the Western Regions, present-day Xinjiang province. The image captures one such etching from this remarkable collection titled "Rewards to Generals and Officers in Quelling the Uigurs". The scene portrays a moment of triumph as victorious generals are honored with rewards for their heroic efforts. Each etching is accompanied by an imperial poem composed by Emperor Qianlong himself, expressing his deep appreciation and pride for their military might. These historical artworks serve as visual records that immortalize the courage displayed by these warriors who fought against rebellion. They also shed light on the vast territory known as the Western Regions or Central Asia through Western lenses. Preserved within an album form, this particular print transports us back to a time when power was consolidated through military prowess. It offers us a glimpse into Chinese history while highlighting Jean Damascene Sallusti's Italian heritage artistry.
