EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the intricate details of traditional Chinese attire and customs. The image showcases a rice-straw cloak, wood and straw sandals, a Chinese woman's bound foot, and a boot - all essential elements of the cultural identity of China during the Qing Dynasty.
The delicate artistry of Andrea Freschi and Antoine Cardon brings to life the beauty and complexity of these garments and practices. The bound foot of the Chinese woman is a poignant reminder of the painful tradition of foot binding that was once prevalent in Chinese society.
Through this print, we are transported back in time to witness not only the fashion trends but also the societal norms that shaped everyday life in China. The attention to detail in depicting each item reflects a deep respect for the craftsmanship and heritage behind them.
As we admire this piece from Henri-Leonard-Jean-Baptiste Bertin and Jean Baptiste Joseph Breton's "China, Its Costumes," we are reminded of how clothing can be more than just fabric - it is an expression of culture, history, and identity. This print serves as a window into a world rich with tradition and symbolism, inviting us to appreciate the beauty found in every stitch and thread.
