This handcolored woodcut print depicts the Emperor of China, resplendently seated on his ornate throne, adorned in intricately embroidered robes. The Emperor's regal attire is a stunning display of Chinese artistry and craftsmanship, with vibrant colors and intricate patterns that reflect the rich cultural heritage of the Chinese people. The Emperor's hat, adorned with a majestic peacock feather, adds an air of grandeur and nobility to his appearance. The throne, also intricately decorated, is a symbol of the Emperor's power and authority. The design of the throne, with its curved arms and elaborate carvings, reflects the Chinese aesthetic sensibilities of the time. The Emperor's expression is serene and confident, reflecting his role as the leader of his people and the guardian of Chinese traditions. This print is from Auguste Wahlen's "Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World," published in Brussels in 1845. The work was a popular and influential compilation of ethnographic and cultural information, featuring detailed illustrations of the clothing and customs of various peoples from around the world. The print was produced by the renowned French publisher Jean Francois Nicolas Loumyer. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and traditions of the Chinese Emperor during the 19th century, providing a valuable historical record of a time and place that continues to captivate the imagination of people around the world.
