EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1922 showcases the revered figure of Confucius, known as the Great Unapotheosized God of China. According to Chinese tradition, Confucius was not only a philosopher but also a political figure, educator, and founder of the Ru School of Chinese thought. His profound teachings, recorded in the Analects, have shaped much of China's philosophical discourse on education and moral conduct. The image portrays a wise-looking man with a long beard wearing traditional Chinese robes. The photograph captures his dignified presence and intellectual aura. This historical artifact is part of the Myths and Legends of China collection by Edward TC Werner, published by George G Harrap & Co in 1922. Confucius' influence extends beyond his own time period; he remains an iconic symbol representing wisdom and virtue in Chinese culture. This portrait serves as a reminder of his enduring legacy as one of history's greatest thinkers.
