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.

Jeune Fille Arabe in Traditional Attire from Wahlen's 1844 Lithographs
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: "Jeune Fille Arabe in Traditional Attire from Wahlen's 1844 Lithographs" Description: This hand-colored lithograph, titled *Jeune Fille Arabe* (Young Arab Girl), is from the Asia volume of Auguste Wahlen’s "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples de Monde" (Customs, Manners, and Dress of All the Peoples of the World), published in 1844. The print was created by an anonymous engraver after Wahlen’s work, with artists like Evrard Duverger, L. Markaert, and R. King contributing to the collection. Enhanced with Arabic gum on vellum paper, the lithograph offers a striking representation of an Arabian woman in traditional attire, including a striped dress, animal-print shawl, and ornate jewelry. Cultural and Artistic Insight: The subject's attire reflects a blend of practical clothing and decorative elements, such as the striped fabric and the leopard-patterned wrap. Her jewelry, including bracelets and a headpiece, highlights her status or cultural identity. The presence of a background with tropical trees and village buildings suggests that this scene might depict a coastal or rural area, where both traditional and more exotic elements are incorporated into daily life. Attractiveness: The vivid hand-coloring, along with the detailed rendering of fabric patterns and accessories, makes this print particularly appealing. The glossy finish provided by the Arabic gum adds depth to the colors, giving the illustration a luminous quality. The juxtaposition of traditional Arabian dress...
