EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate print captures the dignified presence of a Mandarin or magistrate of Turon (Da Nang) attended by his pipeline-bearer. The intricate details in their traditional costumes and accessories, such as the mandarin's fan and the pipe bearer's attire, provide a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Vietnam.
The scene depicted in this engraving is adapted from Alexander William's An Authentic Account of an Embassy to the Emperor of China, offering a historical perspective on diplomatic relations between nations during that era. The skilled craftsmanship of Andrea Bernieri in drawing and engraving this image for Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World showcases the artistry and attention to detail prevalent in 19th-century Florence, Italy.
As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous encounter between a respected official and his loyal attendant. The juxtaposition of power and servitude is evident in their postures and expressions, highlighting societal hierarchies prevalent during that period.
Through this print, we are reminded of the importance of preserving cultural traditions and honoring those who have played significant roles in shaping our history. It serves as a visual reminder of our interconnectedness with people from diverse backgrounds and regions across the globe.
