EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the essence of ancient China, showcasing a wall, fortress, and bridge in Peking (Beijing). The intricate details of the architecture are brought to life by artist Andrea Bernieri in this piece from Giulio Ferrario's Costumes Antique and Modern of All Peoples. The image transports us back to 1842 Florence, where viewers can marvel at the beauty and grandeur of Chinese design.
The imposing wall stretches across the landscape, symbolizing strength and protection. The fortress stands tall as a testament to China's rich history and military prowess. And the bridge gracefully spans over a tranquil river, connecting two worlds with its elegant arches.
As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the timeless allure of Chinese culture. The delicate handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the scene, making it feel almost like a painting rather than an engraving.
This artwork is not just a visual representation of Peking; it is a window into a bygone era when craftsmanship was revered and attention to detail was paramount. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these architectural wonders continue to captivate audiences around the world.
