EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Andrea Freschi after Antoine Cardon, depicts a Tartar woman gracefully riding on a unique mode of transport - a one-wheel barrow, drawn by a team of devoted servants. The image is taken from the comprehensive work "China, Its Costumes, Arts, Manufactures, etc." published by Henri-Leonard-Jean-Baptiste Bertin and Jean Baptiste Joseph Breton in London, 1824. The Tartar woman, dressed in traditional attire, exudes an air of regality and elegance as she sits confidently on the narrow, single-wheeled vehicle. Her long, flowing robes are adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Tartar people. The servants, dressed in simpler garments, are attentively pulling the barrow, their determined expressions indicating their dedication to their mistress's comfort and safety. The one-wheel barrow, a distinctive feature of Tartar transportation, is an engineering marvel that showcases the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people. The single wheel, positioned at the back, allows for a smoother ride over uneven terrain, making it an effective means of transport in the rugged landscapes of the Tartar region. This image offers a glimpse into the daily life and customs of the Tartar people during the early 19th century, providing valuable insights into their unique culture and traditions. The meticulously hand-colored engraving, produced by Andrea Freschi, adds an extra layer of detail and authenticity, making it a stunning work of art that continues to captivate and intrigue viewers even today.
