EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Antonio Sasso, taken from Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World, published in Florence, Italy in 1843, depicts an intriguing moment in the daily life of the Men of the Kingdom of Gingiro in Ethiopia. The image captures a group of men, dressed in traditional attire, skillfully crossing the Gibe River (also known as the Zebee River) using an ingenious method of transportation. The men are shown standing on an inflated cowhide, which has been fashioned into a makeshift balloon or raft. The cowhide, likely obtained from a local herd, has been expertly treated and stretched to create a large, buoyant surface. The men, who are expertly balancing themselves on the unstable and shifting material, are shown in a determined and focused manner, ensuring a safe crossing for themselves and their possessions. The Gibe River, which is known for its swift currents and unpredictable waters, poses a significant challenge for the local population. The use of an inflated cowhide as a raft is a testament to the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the people of the Kingdom of Gingiro. This image provides a fascinating glimpse into the daily life and customs of a community that was largely unknown to the Western world at the time. The intricate details of the engraving, from the textures of the cowhide to the intricate patterns of the Men's clothing, showcase the skill and artistry of Antonio Sasso and Giulio Ferrario. This image is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and diversity that exists across the world, and serves as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of human beings in the face of challenging circumstances.
