Indigenous Dress and Interiors, South America - Ferrario-Bonatti 1821

About the Item

Antique Print - Indigenous Dress and Interiors, South America - Ferrario-Bonatti 1821 This hand-colored etching, titled "Indigenous Dress and Interiors of South America," offers a unique glimpse into the daily life and cultural attire of South American indigenous peoples from the early 19th century. The print is from works of Giulio Ferrario's extensive series "Il Costume Antico e Moderno." Featured in this scene are two indigenous individuals in a conversation within a traditionally decorated room. The details in their clothing and the interior, including wall hangings and ornamental objects, are meticulously depicted, showcasing the etching's fine quality and the original vibrant hand coloring. This etching is part of Ferrario's ambitious publication, crafted by the talented D.K. Bonatti, and captures the essence of indigenous life with a focus on their attire and interior design, reflecting the period’s interest in ethnography and anthropology. A collector’s item, this print not only serves as an artistic piece but also as an educational resource that provides insight into the historical context and cultural diversity of South America during the early 1800s. It is perfect for collectors and enthusiasts of ethnographic art and historical documentation. Note that there is an old dry damp spot in the left margin, but this is not touching the image - leaving it perfectly well for matting or framing. The colors are exquisite.
