EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Andrea Bernieri, from Giulio Ferrrario's "Costumes Antique and Modern of All Peoples" published in Florence in 1842, offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich and diverse world of Chinese musical instruments. The image showcases an array of both string and percussion instruments, each with its unique character and intricate design. At the heart of this composition are two erhus (1, 2), the two-stringed and three-stringed Chinese violins. Their slender bodies and distinctive horsehair bows evoke a sense of elegance and refinement. Nearby, a four-string pipa (4, 5) sits proudly, its pear-shaped body adorned with intricate carvings and its long neck poised for the skilled performer's fingers. The percussion instruments add depth and rhythm to the scene. A gong (6) dominates the lower left corner, its large, flat bronze disc resonating with the sound of a single strike. Horns and other percussive instruments, such as the yunluo cloud gong (11) and paiban (12), add to the symphony of sounds that would have filled traditional Chinese musical performances. This engraving not only showcases the beauty and craftsmanship of these Chinese musical instruments but also offers a window into the cultural traditions and customs of a far-off land. The intricate details of each instrument reveal the deep connection between the people and their art, providing a valuable historical record for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
