Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Drawing by William Alexander, draughtsman of the Macartney Embassy to China in 1793. A funeral procession in China. The leader of the procession is a priest, who carries a lighted match, with tin-foil and crackers, to which he sets fire when passing a temple or other building for sacred purposes. Following are four musicians with gongs, flutes and trumpets; two persons holding banners; two mourners and a distressed relative. The coffin is carried by four men. A horse-driven carriage containing three females is at the end of the funeral procession. Image taken from The Costume of China, illustrated in forty-eight coloured engravings, published in London in 1805. |
