"An Arrow Maker" is plate number 15 from the illustrated work "The Costume of China," published in 1800 by Major George Henry Mason. This volume is a significant contribution to the early 19th-century European understanding of Chinese culture and daily life. The book comprises a series of hand-colored aquatint engravings, each accompanied by descriptive text, showcasing the diverse range of costumes and occupations in China at the time.

Plate 15, "An Arrow Maker," depicts a Chinese craftsman in the process of making arrows, an essential tool for hunting and warfare in historical China. The illustration is detailed, capturing the intricacies of the arrow-making process, as well as the traditional attire of the artisan. The image serves not only as a representation of the craft but also as a window into the material culture of China during the Qing Dynasty.

The Costume of China was one of several works produced in the late 18th and early 19th centuries that aimed to satisfy European curiosity about the Far East. Mason's work is particularly noted for its attention to detail and its attempt to provide an accurate portrayal of Chinese society. "An Arrow Maker" stands as a valuable historical record of Chinese craftsmanship and provides insight into the trade and skills of the era. The plate, like others in the collection, is appreciated for its artistic merit as well as its ethnographic significance.
