Die Publikation stellt erstmals das gesamte noch existierende Konvolut von Schlachten-Druckplatten der chinesischen Kaiser vor. Sie zeigen Szenen chinesischer Feldzüge zwischen 1755–1828. Von den ursprünglich 88 Druckplatten sind heute nur noch 37 bekannt, davon 34 im Ethnologischen Museum Berlin. Das Buch schildert die Provenienzgeschichte der Platten und beschreibt die Geschichte des Kupferstichs in China. Ferner wird der Entstehungsprozess der Druckplatten und die Motive auf den Schlachtenbildern im Detail erläutert. Die großartigen Kupferplatten, die Teil der Ausstellung im Wang-Shu-Raum des Humboldtforums sind, zeugen von der Missionsgeschichte in China, den Feldzügen und der Politik chinesischer Kaiser, der transnationalen Kultur- und Handwerksverflechtung und letztendlich vom Kupferstichhandwerk an sich.

The publication presents the entire collection of printing plates depicting battles of the Chinese emperor that are still in existence. They show scenes of Chinese military campaigns between 1755 and 1828. Of the originally eighty-eight printing plates, only thirty-seven are still known today, thirty-four of them in the Ethnological Museum in Berlin. The book tells the history of the plates’provenance and describes the history of copperplate engraving in China. The process in which the printing plates were created and the motifs found in the pictures of battles are also explained. The magnificent copper plates, which are part of the exhibition in the Wang Shu Room of the Humboldt Forum, bear witness to the history of missionaries in China, the military campaigns and politics of the Chinese emperor, the transnational interrelation of culture and craft, and ultimately the craft of copperplate engraving itself.
