EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Andrea Freschi after Antoine Cardon, provides a glimpse into the daily lives of Chinese silk-cord or silk-twist makers during the Qing Dynasty. The image showcases a group of women intently focused on their craft, skillfully twisting silk thread onto upright cones. The intricate process of silk-cord making involved winding the thread around the cone in a continuous spiral, which was then used to create various decorative elements for clothing and textiles. The women in the engraving are dressed in traditional Chinese attire, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Qing Dynasty. Their clothing consists of flowing robes, intricately patterned with bold colors and delicate designs, which were characteristic of the period. The women's hair is styled in elaborate updos, adorned with ornate accessories, adding to their regal appearance. The engraving, published in "China, Its Costumes, Arts, Manufactures, etc." by Bertin and Bretons in 1824, offers a unique window into the world of Chinese silk production during the Qing Dynasty. The meticulous attention to detail in the artwork highlights the skill and dedication of the silk-cord makers, whose craft was an essential part of China's thriving textile industry. This image is a testament to the beauty and intricacy of Chinese art and the importance of silk production in Chinese history.
