EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Andrea Bernieri, titled 'Wall, fortress and bridge at Peking (Beijing), China,' is an exquisite depiction of the ancient architecture and defensive structures that once dominated the cityscape of China's capital. The image captures the grandeur and intricacy of the Chinese culture, showcasing the iconic city walls, fortress, and bridge that were essential components of the city's defense system. The wall, a symbol of Chinese strength and resilience, stretches out into the distance, its imposing height and width a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. The fortress, situated within the walls, appears as a maze of interconnected buildings, each with its unique architectural design and intricate detailing. The bridge, spanning the moat that surrounds the fortress, adds an element of elegance and practicality to the defensive structures. The engraving is taken from Giulio Ferrrario's 'Costumes Antique and Modern of All Peoples (Il Costume Antico e Moderno di Tutti i Popoli),' published in Florence in 1842. Ferrrario was a renowned Italian anthropologist, ethnographer, and publisher, who dedicated his life to documenting the customs, manners, and costumes of various races, tribes, and nations. This engraving is a testament to his commitment to preserving the rich cultural heritage of Asia. The handcoloured detailing adds a layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a captivating piece of historical art. The engraving not only provides a glimpse into the past but also serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of Chinese architecture and culture on the world.
