EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Migliavacca for Giulio Ferrrario's "Costumes Antique and Modern of All Peoples" published in Florence in 1842, offers a fascinating glimpse into the traditional costumes of the indigenous people of Quito, Ecuador. The image showcases a group of women adorned in their traditional attire, which includes shawls, aprons, skirts, and bonnets. The intricate designs and vibrant colors of their garments reflect the rich cultural heritage of the indigenous communities in Quito. The women in this engraving wear long, flowing skirts made of brightly colored fabric, often adorned with intricate patterns and fringes. They also wear fitted tunics, which are typically made of the same material as the skirt and are adorned with intricate embroidery. The women's shawls, which are worn draped over their shoulders, are often made of wool and feature intricate geometric designs. The women in this image also wear aprons, which are an essential part of their traditional attire. These aprons are typically made of the same fabric as the skirt and are worn to protect their clothing from stains while they work. The women's bonnets, which are worn on their heads, are often made of the same fabric as their skirts and are adorned with colorful ribbons and other decorative elements. This engraving provides a valuable record of the traditional costumes of the indigenous people of Quito during the mid-19th century. It offers a window into the customs, manners, and racial and tribal distinctions of the South American people during this time. The intricate details captured in this handcoloured copperplate engraving serve as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the indigenous communities in Quito and Ecuador.
