EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Andrea Freschi after Antoine Cardon, depicts a group of Tartar soldiers, proudly marching towards the gates of the imperial palace during the Qing Dynasty in China. The Tartars, also known as the Manchus, were a distinct ethnic group who ruled China from 1644 to 1912. These soldiers, dressed in their traditional attire, are armed with bows and arrows, ready to mount their guard. Their fierce expressions and determined posture convey a sense of unwavering loyalty and discipline. The intricate details of the soldiers' uniforms and equipment are beautifully rendered in this engraving. The soldiers wear high, conical hats, long coats with wide lapels, and high-waisted trousers. Their boots are adorned with intricate designs, and they carry quivers full of arrows slung over their shoulders. The soldiers' faces are painted with distinctive markings, signifying their rank and status within the military hierarchy. The engraving also showcases the grandeur of the palace gates, which are adorned with intricate carvings and ornate decorations. The soldiers' march towards the gates marks the beginning of their duty to protect the imperial palace and its occupants. This engraving is a fascinating glimpse into the rich history and culture of the Qing Dynasty, providing a window into a bygone era of Chinese history.
