EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Andrea Bernieri, from Giulio Ferrrario's "Costumes Antique and Modern of All Peoples" (Il Costume Antico e Moderno di Tutti i Popoli), published in Florence in 1842, offers a fascinating glimpse into the traditional transportation methods of the Chinese people during the 19th century. The image showcases a collection of Chinese sedan chairs, wagons, harnesses, and yokes, all intricately designed and expertly crafted. In the foreground, a sedan chair, a luxurious and ornate palanquin carried by two or more bearers, is depicted. The chair is adorned with intricate carvings, vibrant colours, and rich fabrics, reflecting the wealth and status of its occupant. A harness and yoke are also visible, suggesting the presence of a horse-drawn wagon nearby. Behind the sedan chair, several wagons are arranged, each carrying various types of freight and luggage. The wagons are pulled by horses, and their designs range from simple and functional to ornate and decorative. The harnesses and yokes used to control the horses are also intricately designed, with intricate patterns and delicate details. This image provides a unique window into the transportation customs and manners of the Chinese people during the 19th century. It is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and the ingenuity of the Chinese people in designing and utilizing various modes of transportation to meet their travel needs. The handcoloured copperplate engraving, produced by Andrea Bernieri, adds an extra layer of beauty and detail to this fascinating representation of Chinese transportation history.
