EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled 'Costume of the Chancellors, Mandarins, Courtiers and Writers of Tonkin, Vietnam,' is an exquisite example of the rich and intricate traditional attire of the Vietnamese intellectual and ruling classes during the early 19th century. The image, drawn and engraved by Andrea Bernieri from Giulio Ferrario's 'Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World,' published in Florence, Italy in 1844, offers a captivating glimpse into the opulent world of the Vietnamese court. The chancellors, mandarins, and courtiers are depicted in grand robes, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors. Their hats, often featuring elaborate designs and tall crowns, add to their regal appearance. The writers, with their scholar's caps and simple, yet elegant garments, represent the intellectual and literary class of Vietnamese society. Tonkin, the northern region of present-day Vietnam, was an important cultural and political center during this period. The costumes of its inhabitants were a reflection of the region's rich history and its unique blend of Chinese and Vietnamese influences. This illustration provides a valuable record of this fascinating aspect of Vietnamese history and culture. The meticulous detail and vivid colors of this handcoloured copperplate engraving make it a stunning work of art, as well as an invaluable historical document. It offers a captivating insight into the lives of the Vietnamese intelligentsia and ruling classes during a time when Tonkin was a center of cultural and political significance.
