EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Andrea Bernieri in 1843, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing a section of the Great Wall of China as it appeared in the 1820s. The image is taken from Giulio Ferrario's comprehensive work, "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World," published in Florence, Italy. The Great Wall of China, an engineering marvel and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stretches over 13,000 miles (21,196 kilometers) and is a testament to the architectural prowess and determination of the Chinese people. This engraving, with its intricate details and vibrant colours, beautifully captures the rugged terrain and the winding path of the wall as it winds its way through the mountainous landscape. The image also provides a glimpse into the daily life of the people during that era. Soldiers, dressed in traditional Chinese attire, can be seen patrolling the wall, while villagers and traders can be seen in the foreground, engaged in their daily activities. The engraving also showcases the lush vegetation and diverse landscape of the region, with trees, shrubs, and flowers adding to the visual appeal. This illustration not only serves as a historical record of the Great Wall of China during the 1820s but also offers a glimpse into the daily life and culture of the people of that era. The intricate details, vibrant colours, and meticulous craftsmanship of the engraving make it a valuable addition to any collection of historical or cultural art.
