EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the book "Mores and Characters of Peoples" transports us to a Gypsies camp in Catalonia, circa 1884. The image captures the essence of the Gypsy way of life, showcasing their nomadic existence and colorful culture.
Intriguingly, the accompanying text sheds light on the various occupations and practices of these enigmatic people. From practicing masonry and veterinary work to engaging in mullet shearing and crafting copper instruments, the men are depicted as skilled individuals with diverse talents. Additionally, mentions of smuggling and other illicit activities hint at a more clandestine side to their livelihoods.
On the other hand, women are described as fortune tellers, beggars, and sellers of various goods – both innocent and not so innocent. This juxtaposition between traditional craftsmanship and underground dealings paints a complex picture of Gypsy life during that era.
Overall, this historical snapshot offers a glimpse into a bygone world where societal norms were different, and cultural diversity thrived. The intricate details captured in this illustration serve as a reminder of the rich tapestry that is human civilization.
