EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking handcoloured copperplate engraving by Carocci, after Giulio Ferrario's 'Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World,' depicts a group of Canons of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, also known as the Canonici del S. Sepolcro, in their summer attire during the 19th century. The Canons are shown gathered around a table, engaged in a lively game of odds or tui tsu, a popular form of gambling among Chinese merchants during that era. The Canons, all clad in their distinctive Equestrian Order robes, display a sense of camaraderie and enjoyment as they place their bets, their thick-soled boots and caps indicating their status as knights. The table is adorned with stacks of cash and a betting stick, adding to the vibrant and dynamic atmosphere of the scene. The engraving, which is part of Ferrario's extensive work on world costumes, showcases the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures during the 19th century. The Canons' presence in China, as depicted in this illustration, highlights the global reach and influence of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem during that period. This historical and fascinating image, created by Carocci and originally published in Ferrario's 'Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World' in Florence in 1833, provides a unique glimpse into the past and the rich diversity of the world's cultures and traditions.
