EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving by Andrea Bernieri, 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, offers a glimpse into the vibrant and intriguing world of Chinese games and acrobatics performed in the renowned Yuanmingyuang Park in Peking (Beijing). The image is filled with a rich tapestry of color and movement, as eight elegantly costumed women ride Ferris wheels perpendicularly to the ground, their wigs and headdresses adding a touch of grandeur to their daring act. Meanwhile, male acrobats spin and twirl on rope wheels, their agility and strength on full display. In the background, an archer in traditional Chinese attire stands on a high platform, focusing intently as he shoots arrows below, adding an element of danger and excitement to the scene. The lively music and festive atmosphere are palpable, making this a true spectacle and fair delight. The intricate details of the costumes, the dynamic poses of the performers, and the sense of wonder and amazement on the faces of the onlookers all come together to create a captivating and unforgettable image of Chinese culture and tradition.
