EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving by Andrea Bernieri, taken from Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World, published in Florence, Italy in 1837, offers a captivating view of the Chimborazo volcano in the Andes of Ecuador. The image showcases the majestic beauty of the snow-capped volcano, towering over the surrounding landscape and casting a long, ominous shadow. In the foreground, native American figures can be seen dressed in traditional attire, with one man wearing a poncho and holding a llama. The inclusion of these figures adds a sense of scale and context to the image, highlighting the connection between the people and the land. The Andes Mountains have long been a source of fascination for explorers and travellers, and this engraving provides a unique and intriguing glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of the people who called this region home. The intricate details and vibrant colours of the handcoloured engraving bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer to another time and place. The Chimborazo volcano remains an active stratovolcano and a popular destination for adventurous travellers, and this beautiful illustration serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of this remarkable region in South America.
