EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving by Andrea Bernieri, from Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World, published in Florence, Italy in 1843, provides a captivating glimpse into the grandeur and magnificence of the Chinese imperial throne and sceptre during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912). The image depicts an emperor seated on a elaborate, multi-tiered throne, adorned with intricate gold and red decorations, symbolizing power, prosperity, and good fortune. The emperor wears a traditional imperial robe, adorned with dragons and phoenixes, and a jeweled crown, further emphasizing his regal status. In his right hand, the emperor holds a sceptre, a symbol of his authority and power. The sceptre is topped with a golden dragon, symbolizing the emperor's connection to the heavens and his role as the "Son of Heaven." The emperor's throne and sceptre were not only symbols of his power, but also served as important cultural and historical artifacts, reflecting the rich heritage and traditions of the Chinese empire. Andrea Bernieri's meticulous attention to detail and use of vibrant colors bring this image to life, transporting us back in time to the opulent world of the Chinese imperial court. This engraving is not only a beautiful work of art, but also an invaluable historical record of the Chinese imperial throne and sceptre during the Qing Dynasty.
