EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving by Andrea Bernieri, from Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World, published in Florence, Italy, in 1843, offers a fascinating glimpse into the agricultural practices of China during the mid-19th century. The image showcases the dedication and hard work of Chinese peasants as they toil in the fields to ensure a bountiful harvest. At the center of the composition, a group of peasants work together to plant their fields using a seeding machine. The machine, consisting of a hopper with two pipes leading to pronged feet, efficiently disperses seeds into the soil, allowing for efficient and productive planting. In the foreground, a man operates a water pump to irrigate his field, ensuring that his crops receive the necessary water to thrive. Nearby, another man operates a toothed milling machine to remove the husk from freshly harvested rice, separating the valuable grains from the bran. The scene also includes a peasant plowing the field with an ox-drawn plow, a traditional and essential agricultural tool. The intricate details of the engraving, from the textures of the peasants' clothing to the intricacies of the machinery, provide a vivid and authentic portrayal of Chinese agriculture during this time. Andrea Bernieri's skillful hand-coloring further brings the image to life, adding depth and richness to the already intricate copperplate engraving. This illustration serves as a valuable historical record of Chinese agricultural practices during the mid-19th century and offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of rural China during this period.
