EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant and intricate costumes worn by Chinese people in the East Indies during the late 19th century. The engraving, created by German School in 1880, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of this community. The image depicts men and women dressed in traditional attire, beautifully adorned with colorful fabrics and elaborate headdresses. Each garment exudes elegance and sophistication, reflecting both fashion trends of that era and their national identity. Set against a backdrop of bustling streets in Singapore, Malaysia's Straits Settlements, Penang, and other regions within Southeast Asia, this illustration captures not only the beauty of these costumes but also their significance as symbols of entertainment and trade. Merchants can be seen engaging with customers while vendors proudly display their wares. This snapshot provides insight into the thriving cloth industry at that time as well as its influence on local economies. The digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate every detail meticulously engraved by Braun & Schneider for "Zur Geschichte der Kostume" (1895). Preserved within a private collection today, this artwork serves as a valuable historical artifact documenting an important chapter in Asian history. Through this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to an era where fashion was not just about personal style but also represented cultural pride and economic prosperity.
