EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Andrea Bernieri for Giulio Ferrrario's "Costumes Antique and Modern of All Peoples" published in Florence in 1842, offers a glimpse into the opulent world of Chinese noblewomen during the 19th century. The central figure is a noblewoman dressed in elegant silk robes, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, reflecting the rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship of Chinese textiles. She holds her young child in her arms, demonstrating the deep bond between mother and child that is valued in Chinese society. The noblewoman is accompanied by a servant, who holds a parasol to shield them from the sun. Parasols were essential accessories for Chinese women, not only for sun protection but also as a symbol of status and wealth. The servant's attire, with its simple yet elegant design, highlights the contrast between the opulence of the noblewoman and the humility of her servant. This image provides a fascinating insight into the customs and manners of Chinese women during the 19th century, offering a window into a world that is often shrouded in mystery and intrigue. The meticulous detail and vibrant colors of the engraving underscore the importance of anthropological studies in documenting the diverse cultures and traditions of the world. The image is a testament to the rich history and complexity of Chinese culture, and a reminder of the enduring allure of Asian art and fashion.
