This print showcases Sheet 10 of figures for Chinese shadow puppets, created by the talented artist Juan Llorens in 1859. The intricate woodcut wood engraving matrix brings to life a mesmerizing array of characters from the rich heritage art of China. As we delve into this enchanting scene, we are transported back to the 19th century, where puppet shows were a popular form of performing arts. The silhouettes of various animals grace the stage, each exquisitely crafted with meticulous detail. From majestic lions and graceful giraffes to fearsome tigers and elusive foxes, these shadow puppets captivate our imagination. We also encounter familiar creatures such as bears, bison, boars, camels, elephants, hyenas, jackals, hippos and rhinoceroses - all brought to life through Llorens' masterful engravings.
