EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Chinese infantryman from the 19th century, as depicted in Giulio Ferrario's renowned work "Le Costume Ancien et Moderne". Published in the 1820s-30s, this illustration provides a vivid glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of China. The soldier stands tall and proud, adorned in an exquisite traditional costume that reflects his allegiance to his country and its military forces. With sword in hand and shield on his back, he exudes strength and readiness for battle. His attention is unwavering as he gazes towards the distance, perhaps keeping watch over his comrades or guarding one of China's many barracks. In the background, we catch sight of a majestic watchtower rising against the sky—a symbol of protection and vigilance. This image transports us to ancient times when such structures played a crucial role in safeguarding territories. The vibrant colors brought to life through lithography add depth and vibrancy to this engraving by Giovanni Bigatti. The intricate details capture every fold of fabric on the soldier's uniform, making it evident that much care was taken during its creation. As we admire this remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection—an invaluable treasure—we are reminded of China's rich military history and its enduring traditions. It serves as both a tribute to those who have served their nation with honor and an invitation for us all to appreciate the beauty found within different cultures around our world.
