EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Andrea Bernieri for Giulio Ferrario's 'Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World' published in Florence, Italy, in 1843, offers a fascinating glimpse into the grandeur and majesty of ancient Chinese imperial court life. The central figure is an Ancient Chinese Emperor, resplendent in his regal attire, seated confidently in a four-horse chariot. The chariot, adorned with intricate decorations and banners, is drawn by four powerful horses, their manes flowing in the wind. Surrounding the Emperor are his esteemed Mandarins and courtiers, dressed in their traditional robes and hats, some holding parasols to shield themselves from the sun. The Emperor's flag, bearing the symbol of the Dragon, the imperial emblem of China, is held aloft by an attendant. The scene exudes an air of opulence and grandeur, reflecting the rich cultural heritage and historical significance of ancient China. Andrea Bernieri's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate designs on the Emperor's robes, the intricate patterns on the chariot, and the delicate brushstrokes used to colour the image. This engraving is not only a beautiful work of art but also an invaluable historical record of ancient Chinese imperial court life. The image provides a captivating insight into the lives of the Ancient Chinese Emperor and his Mandarins, offering a glimpse into a world that is both mysterious and fascinating.
