EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Andrea Freschi after Antoine Cardon, depicts an embroiderer diligently working on two intricately designed pieces of silk cloth during the Qing Dynasty of China. The embroiderer's focused expression and the use of a bamboo frame underscore the dedication and skill required for this ancient art form. One piece of silk showcases a vibrant, lifelike bird, which was traditionally used as a motif for civil mandarins, representing the harmony and grace associated with their roles in Chinese society. The other piece of silk features a powerful quadruped animal, symbolizing strength and courage, reflecting the military mandarin's role in maintaining order and protecting the empire. The intricate details of the embroidery, from the delicate feathers of the bird to the textured fur of the animal, demonstrate the exceptional craftsmanship of the era. This engraving, published in "China, Its Costumes, Arts, Manufactures, etc." by Henri-Leonard Jeans Baptiste Bertin and Jean Baptiste Joseph Breton in 1824, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of China and the artistry of its embroiderers.
