EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the essence of a mirror seller during the Qing Dynasty in China. The mirrors, made of highly polished copper, gleam in the sunlight as they are displayed for potential customers. The intricate details of the seller's costume and surroundings provide a glimpse into the vibrant culture and traditions of this historical period.
The artist, Andrea Freschi, skillfully brings to life the scene originally captured by Antoine Cardon, with every brushstroke highlighting the craftsmanship and beauty of these traditional Chinese mirrors. Henri-Leonard-Jean-Baptiste Bertin and Jean Baptiste Joseph Breton's work on "China, Its Costumes" further adds depth and context to this image.
As you gaze upon this print, you can almost hear the bustling sounds of a marketplace filled with eager buyers and sellers engaging in lively trade. The reflection in each mirror tells a story of its own, reflecting not only images but also cultural values and traditions passed down through generations.
This piece serves as a timeless reminder of the rich history and artistry that define China's past. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of craftsmanship and creativity that continues to inspire awe and admiration today.
