EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a depiction of Chang e, the revered Chinese Goddess of the Moon, dating back to 1922. The image is taken from "Myths and Legends of China" a renowned publication by Edward TC Werner, published by George G Harrap & Co in the same year. In this vibrant color portrait, Chang e is portrayed gracefully flying across the night sky, embodying her divine connection with both astronomy and mythology. The photograph offers a glimpse into early 20th-century China's rich cultural heritage and religious beliefs. Chang e holds significant importance in Chinese folklore as she represents change and transformation. As one gazes upon this historical artifact, they are transported to an era where people sought solace in celestial bodies like the moon. The unknown male figure accompanying Chang e adds intrigue to this composition. Perhaps he symbolizes a mortal who has been granted an audience with the goddess or serves as a representation of humanity's fascination with lunar mysteries. This remarkable piece from Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection not only captures the essence of Chinese mythology but also highlights mankind's enduring curiosity about our place within the vast solar system. It stands as a testament to how art can bridge gaps between different cultures and time periods while inspiring contemplation on our shared human experience.
