EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts a tranquil scene of women engaged in the ancient card game Zi Pai, also known as Betzaeta or the Game of Forty, in a serene pavilion adorned with blue canopies. The pavilion, reminiscent of a la piscina or Bethesda pool, is nestled within a lush garden, evoking a sense of peace and relaxation. The setting transports us back to the 19th century in China, where the Ottoman Empire held sway over parts of the Holy Land and Palestine. The women, dressed in elegant traditional attire, focus intently on their game, their expressions a mix of concentration and enjoyment. The intricate details of their clothing, as well as the ornate decorations of the pavilion, are beautifully rendered in the illustration, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the time. The scene is taken from Giulio Ferrario's Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World, a comprehensive work that documented historical fashion from various parts of the world. The engraving, created by Corsi after a painting by Egor Fedorovich Timkovski, is a testament to the artistic skill and attention to detail during the 1830s. The image offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and intrigue of a bygone era. The presence of probatica carroci, or large horse-drawn carriages, in the background suggests that this may have been a leisurely activity for the wealthy and well-traveled. Overall, this image offers a fascinating glimpse into the history and fashion of the 18th and 19th centuries, transporting us to a time and place far removed from our own.
