EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Costumes of the Vietnamese," is an intricately hand-colored 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 1844. The illustration showcases a vibrant representation of traditional Vietnamese attire from the early to mid-19th century. At the left, a woman is depicted wearing multiple layered tunics of various colors, showcasing the intricate patterns and rich hues that characterized Vietnamese clothing during this era. The woman's hair is styled in an elegant chignon, adorned with delicate accessories. To her right, a man is seen holding a parasol, providing shade from the tropical sun. His attire consists of a long tunic, trousers, and a sash, all adorned with intricate patterns and bold colors. In the foreground, a woman wearing a conical hat, or "non la," sits with a pipe in hand. The conical hat, a symbol of Vietnamese culture, is a traditional headgear used to protect against the sun and rain. A soldier, dressed in armor and armed with a sabre and shield, stands at the right side of the image. His uniform reflects the military might and discipline of the Vietnamese forces during this period. This image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and diverse traditions of Vietnam during the 19th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the engraving bring the costumes to life, providing a visual representation of a bygone era.
