EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken from Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World, published in Florence, Italy, in 1844, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and elegance of the Mandarin and noble class in the Kingdom of Siam, now modern-day Thailand. The Mandarin, dressed in the traditional silk robes and headdress, exudes an air of authority and refinement. His intricately designed robe, adorned with gold embroidery and intricate patterns, reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Kingdom. The noblewoman, elegantly attired in a flowing silk gown, gracefully holds her child, cradling him in her arms. Her delicate features and serene expression convey a sense of tranquility and nurturing. The child, dressed in traditional Thai attire, gazes up at his mother with a look of curiosity and wonder. The use of handcoloured copperplate drawing and engraving techniques adds to the vibrancy and detail of the image, bringing the subjects to life and transporting us back in time to the opulent courts of the Kingdom of Siam. The image, drawn by Andrea Bernieri and adapted from Simon de la Loubere's account of his travels in Southeast Asia, provides a valuable record of the fashion and customs of the Mandarin and noble class during the 19th century. This beautiful and intriguing image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and history of Thailand.
