EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history aboard the SS Knivsberg in 1898. The image, created by Christian Wilhelm Allers, showcases Chinese crew members enjoying their meal on the deck of the ship as it sails through the Gulf of Siam. The scene is filled with cultural richness as these sailors from China gather together to eat using traditional chopsticks and bowls. They are seen squatting comfortably, showcasing their ease and familiarity with this dining style. Rice, a staple food in Chinese cuisine, fills their bowls. Allers' artistic talent shines through in this lithograph from his book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth). His attention to detail brings every element of this scene to life - from the intricate patterns on each bowl to the expressions on each crew member's face. This image not only provides a glimpse into daily life onboard a ship during that time period but also serves as an important historical document highlighting cross-cultural interactions between European vessels and Asian crew members. Preserved for over a century, this print offers us an opportunity to reflect upon our shared human experiences across different countries and centuries while appreciating Allers' skillful storytelling through art.
