EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts a royal court room in the Kingdom of Siam, Thailand, circa 1800. The room is adorned with an array of parasols, adding an exotic and alluring touch to the grand setting. The parasols, held by mandarins and courtiers, are not only functional in providing shade but also serve as symbols of rank and prestige. Andrea Bernieri, a renowned Italian artist, drew and engraved this handcoloured copperplate for Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World, published in Florence, Italy, in 1844. The meticulously detailed illustration showcases the opulence and grandeur of the Siamese royal court during the early 19th century. The intricate patterns on the parasols, the richly colored robes, and the ornate headdresses of the courtiers all contribute to the visual feast presented in this image. The audience chamber is filled with an air of anticipation, as the king, not visible in the image, is expected to make an appearance. The mandarins and courtiers, seated in a semi-circle, are engaged in hushed conversations, their expressions revealing a sense of importance and reverence. The parasols, held aloft, shield them from the sunlight filtering in through the ornate windows, creating a striking contrast between the light and shadow. This image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Kingdom of Siam and provides a fascinating insight into the customs and traditions of the royal court during the 19th century.
