EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sun Steals Clothing for his Master, 1922" showcases a scene inspired by the famous Chinese novel "Journey to the West". Created by an unknown artist, this illustration brings to life one of the most iconic characters from Chinese mythology - Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King. In this vibrant image, we see Sun Wukong skillfully stealing clothing in order to disguise himself. Dressed in colorful traditional robes and donning a mischievous expression on his face, he embodies both cunning and playfulness. The attention to detail in depicting his attire reflects the rich cultural heritage of China. The four people depicted alongside Sun Wukong are likely part of his master's group on their epic quest. Their presence adds depth and context to this snapshot from a 16th-century tale set within a 20th-century artistic interpretation. This print is taken from "Myths and Legends of China" written by E. T. C. Werner and published by George G. Harrap & Co. Ltd. , London, Calcutta, Sydney in 1922. It serves as a testament to the enduring popularity of Journey to the West across different cultures and time periods. With its vivid colors and intricate details, this print transports us into an enchanting world where mythical creatures roam ancient lands. It reminds us of the power that literature holds in shaping our understanding of diverse traditions and legends passed down through generations.
