EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Andrea Bernieri, titled 'Water Buffalo and Peasant in Chinese Agriculture,' is an intriguing snapshot of rural life in China during the mid-19th century. The image showcases the backbreaking labor involved in traditional Chinese agriculture, with a water buffalo leading the way as it drags a harrow through a rice paddy. The powerful animal's determined expression and the rippling muscles in its shoulders convey the immense strength required for this task. Following closely behind the water buffalo is a barefoot peasant, dressed in simple, loose-fitting clothing. His focused gaze is fixed on the ground ahead, indicating his unwavering commitment to the labor at hand. The harrow, a tool used to break up and aerate the soil, is pulled effortlessly by the water buffalo, making the peasant's job more manageable. This engraving, part of Giulio Ferrario's 'Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World,' offers a unique perspective into the daily life of Chinese farmers during this period. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the handcoloured engraving bring the scene to life, allowing us to witness the rich tapestry of Chinese agriculture and the deep connection between farmers, their animals, and the land.
