EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled 'Danza del Bolero e Costumi del popolo di Granada' (Bolero Dance and Costumes of the People of Granada), depicts an 18th-century scene of a man and woman gracefully dancing the bolero in the heart of Granada, Spain. The man, dressed in a majo suit with a wide-brimmed hat, holds castanets in one hand, while his partner, attired in a long dress and mantilla, skillfully uses hers. Two guitarists accompany the couple, adding to the lively atmosphere. The crowd surrounding them is a vibrant mix of people from all walks of life. A monk in a habit observes the dance from the side, while a man in a cape and holding a tobacco pipe looks on with interest. A naked boy plays nearby, and a man with a water urn adds to the scene's authenticity. In the background, women in veils and mantillas stroll along the promenade, and a soldier in a bicorn hat stands guard at the citadel. This charming illustration, created by Giulio Ferrario in his 'Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World' in 1829, offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Granada during the 18th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this engraving transport us back in time, making it a must-see for history and fashion enthusiasts alike.
