Chinese Funeral Procession with Palanquin – Engraving after Sonnerat, 1806 This detailed engraving titled Convoi Chinois (Chinese Procession) captures a solemn and structured funeral convoy in Qing Dynasty China. At the center of the composition, a decorated palanquin—likely a funerary sedan—rests on the shoulders of uniformed bearers as they proceed through a mountainous landscape. The structure is ornate and domed, possibly symbolizing the status or wealth of the deceased. Surrounding the palanquin is a carefully choreographed group of attendants, officials, musicians, and mourners. To the right, ceremonial banners with trailing tassels are carried high above the procession, and numerous figures wear traditional Chinese robes and conical hats.

In the background, a rugged terrain of cliffs and hills is visible, dotted with baskets, onlookers, and structures. The left side of the image shows mourners, including a veiled woman and child, standing respectfully aside.

This engraving is based on sketches by French explorer Pierre Sonnerat (1745–1814), who traveled through Asia in the late 18th century. It was engraved by Jean-Baptiste-Marie Poisson (1747–1820) and published in the 1806 edition of *Voyage aux Indes Orientales et à la Chine*, a key French visual record of East Asian life and customs. The print offers rare insight into Chinese funerary...
