EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Andrea Bernieri, taken from 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 military might and grandeur of ancient China. The image depicts a Chinese wooden war chariot, meticulously crafted with intricate details, pulled by four powerful and caparisoned horses. The horses, adorned with ornate harnesses and bridles, display an air of strength and agility, ready to charge into battle. Sitting atop the chariot is a skilled driver, dressed in traditional Chinese attire, holding a quiver of arrows at the ready. His focused expression and firm grip on the reins convey a sense of determination and readiness for combat. The chariot itself is intricately decorated with intricate patterns and designs, reflecting the advanced craftsmanship and artistic prowess of the Chinese people during this period. Andrea Bernieri's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this engraving, from the textured wood grain of the chariot to the individual hairs on the horses' coats. This stunning illustration provides a unique window into the past, offering a glimpse into the military culture and artistic achievements of ancient China during the 19th century.
