EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled "Mirror Seller, Qing Dynasty," showcases a street scene from China during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912). The image, created by Andrea Freschi after Antoine Cardon, was published in the comprehensive work "China, Its Costumes, Arts, Manufactures, etc." by Henri-Leonard Jean Baptiste Bertin and Jean Baptiste Joseph Breton in 1824. At the heart of the scene, a mirror seller proudly displays his wares on a portable stand. The mirrors, made of highly polished copper, reflect the vibrant colors of the surrounding marketplace and the intricate details of the seller's traditional attire. The seller's expression conveys a sense of pride and satisfaction as he engages with potential customers. The engraving provides a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of China during the Qing Dynasty, showcasing the rich textures and patterns of the clothing, the bustling energy of the market, and the importance of trades such as mirror selling. The intricate details of the copperplate engraving, from the folds of the seller's robe to the intricate designs on the mirrors, transport us back in time and offer a window into a bygone era. This beautiful work of art is a testament to the skill and artistry of the engravers and publishers of the time, who were able to capture the essence of a moment in history and preserve it for future generations to appreciate. The Mirror Seller, Qing Dynasty, is not only a stunning work of art but also an invaluable historical document, offering insights into the fashion, trades, and culture of China during the Qing Dynasty.
