EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored illustration captures a scene of Chinese men engrossed in the ancient board game of go. The musician with his gong, the man with a traditional pigtail, and the peasant in a straw hat are deeply focused on their strategic moves, while a farmer with a hoe and another musician with a flute observe intently.
The intricate details in this copperplate engraving by Andrea Bernieri from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Antique and Modern of All Peoples" transport us back to 1842 Florence, offering a glimpse into the cultural practices of Chinese society during that time.
The image not only showcases the skill and concentration required to play go but also highlights the diversity within Chinese communities as different individuals come together for leisurely activities. It is fascinating to see how people from various backgrounds can find common ground through shared interests like gaming.
Overall, this print serves as a reminder of the universal appeal of games as social activities that bring people together regardless of their differences. It is an exquisite portrayal of camaraderie and intellectual engagement among these Chinese men captured for posterity in this beautiful artwork.
