EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Chinese Coolies, destined for Cuba, escaping from the Depot at Macao" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a scene filled with tension and desperation. In this image, we witness a group of Chinese Coolies attempting to escape from the Depot at Macao. These laborers were originally bound for Cuba but have decided to take matters into their own hands. The depiction showcases their determination as they navigate through the chaotic streets of Macao, evading capture. The artist skillfully portrays the atmosphere of urgency and fear that permeates this daring escape. We can almost feel the palpable sense of danger as these individuals risk everything for freedom. The military presence in the background adds another layer of intensity to the narrative. Beyond its artistic merit, this engraving serves as a poignant reminder of historical events that shaped both China and Cuba during that era. It offers us a glimpse into an often overlooked chapter in our shared human story. This thought-provoking print is part of a private collection and has been preserved over time thanks to Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving fine art. Its inclusion in Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection allows us access to explore not only its visual beauty but also its historical significance.
