About the Item

Antique print titled 'Peche Chinoise'. The plate depicts a pair of fishermen resting beside their nets on a stone pier at the edge of a large sea enclosure. The enclosure is teeming with fish, which jump over and around the empty narrow fishing boats that are anchored nearby. In the middle ground, an arcaded sea-wall encloses two small round buildings and a palm tree. In the distance, a small fishing village in the shadow of a mountain can be seen. This print originates from 'Histoire ge´ne´rale des voyages' by Abbé Prévost. Published circa 1750. The Histoire Géneral des Voyages was a monumental eighteenth century general history divided according to geographic region. The original volumes were written by Antoine François Prévost d'Exiles, a French author, novelist, theologian, natural historian, and a priest of the Jesuit and Benedictine orders, but continued by numerous other authors after Prévost's death.
