EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases an impressive array of Chinese weapons and implements of war from the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912). The image, created by Andrea Freschi after Antoine Cardon, was published in "China, Its Costumes, Arts, Manufactures, etc." by Henri-Leonard-Jean-Baptiste Bertin and Jean Baptiste Joseph Bretons in 1824. The engraving highlights various weapons and tools used during the Qing Dynasty for military purposes. At the forefront, a halbert (1) and a scimitar (2) are depicted. The halbert, a versatile weapon, features a long shaft with a hooked head and a spike, while the scimitar is a curved, single-edged sword. Behind the halbert and scimitar, several bows and quivers (3, 4, 5) are displayed. The bows are traditional Chinese longbows, which were renowned for their power and accuracy. Arrows (not shown) would be stored in the quivers. A crossbow (6) and its associated equipment, including crossbow darts (7), a basket of crossbow balls (8), and an iron crook (10), are also depicted. Crossbows were used as alternative weapons when longbows were not feasible. Additional weapons include a musket (9), the Hand of Justice (11), and lances (12). The musket was a firearm introduced to China during the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. The Hand of Justice is a symbol of authority and justice, often depicted holding a sword or scales. This intricately detailed engraving offers a fascinating glimpse into the military culture and technology of the Qing Dynasty, providing valuable insights into the historical context of Chinese weaponry.
