Book excerpt: Ayant accepté en 1792 d'accompagner le duc Macartney lors de son ambassade en Chine, Alexander crée de nombreux croquis lors du voyage de retour de Pékin à Canton par voie fluviale. Aucun artiste britannique n'avait encore ramené des images de cette voie de communication à l'intérieur de l'empire chinois. Ces croquis ont ensuite servi pour des aquarelles peintes par Alexander et pour de nombreuses planches gravées par Alexander lui-même ou par d'autres artistes. Pendant plus d'un demi-siècle, ces planches ont exercé une grande influence sur des artistes à la recherche de sujets chinois (d'après Grove dictionary of art).

Book excerpt: William Alexander's 'The Costume of China: Picturesque Representations of the Dress and Manners of the Chinese' provides readers with a detailed exploration of Chinese attire and customs, combining vivid illustrations with informative text. Published in the early 19th century, this book offers a unique perspective on China during a period of increased Western interest in the country. Alexander's writing style is both descriptive and analytical, offering valuable insights into the cultural significance of clothing in Chinese society. The illustrations accompanying the text bring the descriptions to life, making this book a valuable resource for historians and enthusiasts of Chinese culture. William Alexander, a British artist and explorer, likely drew inspiration for this book from his travels in China and his interest in ethnography. His close observation of Chinese dress and customs is evident in the detailed and accurate portrayals found within the pages of 'The Costume of China.' Alexander's meticulous research and artistic talent make this book a must-read for those seeking to understand the richness of Chinese cultural traditions. I highly recommend 'The Costume of China' to anyone interested in the history and culture of China, as well as to scholars of art, fashion, and anthropology. This book provides a fascinating glimpse into the intricacies of Chinese attire and social practices, offering a valuable resource for anyone seeking to expand their knowledge of this complex and diverse culture.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Costume of China, Illustrated by Sixty Engravings: With Explanations in English and French The very circumscribed limits which are marked out for foreigners at Canton, have rendered the natives of China so completely isolated from the rest of human kind, that only a very superficial acquaintance has been hitherto obtained with the Religion, the Laws, the Manners, or the Arts of a people the most ancient in the discovered world; and it is exceedingly to be regretted, that either habitual caution, ungenerous suspicion, or experienced necessary circumspection, should influence the Chinese, even at the distance of fourteen hundred miles from the capital of their empire, to restrain the observing traveller within this narrow compass.
