EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by the skilled Italian artist Antonio Sasso for Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World," published in Florence, Italy, in 1843, offers a fascinating glimpse into the traditional clothing and weaponry of the natives of Ethiopia. The image portrays a group of hunters in various stages of preparing for a hunt, each armed with a bow, quiver of arrows, and a shield. The hunters are dressed in a combination of animal hides and intricately patterned cloth, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Ethiopia. The men wear loose-fitting garments, often adorned with beads and other decorative elements, while their heads are adorned with various headdresses and headbands. Some hunters wear animal skins draped over their shoulders, while others wear woven cloth that is dyed in bold, vibrant colors. The hunters' weapons are also depicted in meticulous detail. Their bows are made from wood and sinew, and their arrows are tipped with sharp, bone points. The shields, made from animal hide, are intricately decorated with geometric patterns and protective charms. The scene captures the essence of Ethiopian life in the mid-19th century, showcasing the skills and traditions of the native people as they go about their daily lives. The use of handcolouring adds depth and richness to the image, bringing the people and their surroundings to life in a way that a print could not. This beautiful and intriguing image offers a unique window into the past, providing a valuable record of the clothing and weaponry of the Ethiopian people during a time when such traditions were still an integral part of their daily lives.
