EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored illustration and copperplate engraving by Andrea Bernieri, published in Giulio Ferrrario's "Costumes Antique and Modern of All Peoples" (Il Costume Antico e Moderno di Tutti i Popoli) in 1842, offers a unique glimpse into the architecture and daily life of a Canton house during the early 19th century. The image showcases a two-story residence, with a floor plan that reveals a kitchen, bathroom, servants' quarters, courtyard, and a shop facing the street. The house is adorned with intricate Chinese-inspired decorative elements, including ornate carvings, colorful tiles, and delicate latticework. The ground floor of the house features a spacious kitchen, where a woman is seen preparing a meal over an open hearth. A large copper pot hangs above the fire, while a wooden table is laden with various utensils and dishes. Adjacent to the kitchen is a bathroom, where a person bathes in a large tub, surrounded by shelves filled with ceramic jars and other personal items. The servants' quarters are located on the second floor, accessible via a narrow staircase. The courtyard, enclosed by a high wall, provides a peaceful oasis for the residents, filled with lush greenery and colorful flowers. The shop, also on the ground floor, faces the street, selling various goods and wares to passersby. This illustration not only showcases the unique architecture and design of a Canton house but also provides a glimpse into the daily lives of its residents, offering a fascinating window into the past. The intricate details of the hand-colored illustration and the meticulous copperplate engraving make this a truly captivating and valuable historical document.
