Yuen-Ming-Yuan, also known as the Old Summer Palace, was an imperial garden in Beijing, China, renowned for its grandeur and intricate design. The European Palace within Yuen-Ming-Yuan was a unique structure that blended Western architectural elements with traditional Chinese aesthetics, symbolizing the cultural exchanges between China and Europe during the Qing Dynasty. The palace was part of a series of Western-style buildings constructed under the direction of Jesuit missionaries, who served as architects and advisors to the Qing court.

Ferrario's illustration captures the essence of this architectural marvel, providing a visual representation that complements the descriptive narratives in his work. "Le Costume Ancien et Moderne" itself is a monumental publication, spanning multiple volumes and covering a wide array of subjects, from clothing and customs to architecture and daily life across different civilizations.

The publication by Gaetano Zancon ensured that Ferrario's work reached a broad audience, contributing to the 19th-century European understanding and appreciation of global diversity. The illustration of the European Palace at Yuen-Ming-Yuan stands as a testament to the historical and cultural significance of the Old Summer Palace, as well as the broader themes of cross-cultural interaction and artistic representation that Ferrario sought to document in his ambitious compilation.
