Title |
English: Print, Design for a Cartouche Representing the Country of China, 1740 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: Cartouche composed of a shell in reverse. Perched atop the shell, a Chinese woman holding a paddle and a Chinese man framed by animal horns and holding a long-handled pipe. A bow and arrow at right. The arrangement humorously refers to a lumbering, slow-moving "dromedary," or the lack of progress of China in comparison to France. |
