EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the 19th century, we find ourselves transported to the vibrant and intriguing world of Da Nang, Vietnam, where the Mandarin or Magistrate of Turon holds court. The Mandarin, dressed in the traditional robes of his position, sits regally on a raised platform, surrounded by the trappings of power and authority. His elaborate headdress, adorned with gold and precious stones, signifies his high rank within the imperial bureaucracy. To his left, a pipe-bearer attends to the Mandarin's needs, holding a long ceremonial pipe that the Mandarin will use for smoking. This pipe, a symbol of power and prestige, is an essential accessory for a Mandarin of his stature. In his right hand, the Mandarin holds a fan, a common accessory used to keep cool in the tropical Vietnamese climate. The intricate details of the Mandarin's attire, as well as those of the pipe-bearer, are beautifully rendered in this handcoloured copperplate engraving. The artistry of Andrea Bernieri, as seen in this image from Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World," is truly remarkable. The use of vibrant colours and meticulous detail brings this scene to life, allowing us to witness a moment in time from the rich history of Vietnam. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of the Mandarin class in Vietnam during the 19th century. The Mandarin's presence and the attentiveness of his pipe-bearer serve as a reminder of the complex and intricate social hierarchy that existed within Vietnamese society during this period. Through the artistry of Bernieri and the historical record of Ferrario, we are granted a unique perspective into a world that may seem far removed from our own, yet remains an essential part of the global narrative.
