This handcolored woodcut print depicts a Chinese Mandarin dressed in traditional attire, proudly wearing an embroidered tabard and a grand hat adorned with a peacock feather. The intricately designed tabard, with its vibrant colors and intricate patterns, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship of China. The Mandarin's hat, with its distinctive shape and the elegant peacock feather, adds an air of regality and sophistication to his appearance. The image is taken from Auguste Wahlen's "Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World," published in Brussels in 1845. Wahlen, a renowned ethnographer and illustrator, traveled extensively throughout the world to document the diverse customs and traditions of various cultures. This print, along with countless others in the series, offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of the Chinese Mandarin during the 19th century. The intricate details in the embroidery, the bold colors, and the meticulous attention to detail in the woodcut technique all contribute to the visual appeal of this print. The Mandarin's serious expression and the elegant pose further emphasize the importance and significance of his role in Chinese society during that era. This historical artifact provides an invaluable record of the traditional fashion and customs of the Chinese Mandarin, offering a unique window into the past. The intricate design and the rich cultural heritage of this image make it a must-have for anyone interested in Chinese history, fashion, or ethnography.
