关于封面插画

The figure on the cover of Learn AI-Assisted Python Programming with GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT is “Prussien de Silésie,” or “Prussian from Silesia,” taken from a collection by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, published in 1788. Each illustration is finely drawn and colored by hand.

In those days, it was easy to identify where people lived and what their trade or station in life was just by their dress. Manning celebrates the inventiveness and initiative of the computer business with book covers based on the rich diversity of regional culture centuries ago, brought back to life by pictures from collections such as this one.

本书的封面人物是“Prussien de Silésie”，即“来自西里西亚的普鲁士人”。这幅插图选自雅克·格拉塞·德·圣索弗尔（Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur）出版于1788年的作品集。该画集中的每幅画作都是通过手工精心描绘和上色的。

在那个年代，通过人们的服饰，可以轻易识别出他们的居住地和他们的职业或社会地位。Manning出版社通过这些艺术气息浓厚的封面，向计算机行业的创新精神和进取精神致敬。这些画作反映出几个世纪前地域文化的丰富多样性，而这些流传下来的作品集也令这些文化焕发出新的生机。
