EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by the skilled artist Antonio Sasso for Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World," published in Florence, Italy, in 1843, offers a glimpse into the opulent world of the Abyssinian Princess, Ozoro Tishai, and her devoted servants. The image presents Princess Ozoro Tishai, elegantly seated on a richly decorated sofa, enveloped in the folds of her voluminous veil. Her regal countenance is illuminated by the soft glow of a torch held by one of her attendants, while another servant draws back the heavy velvet curtains, revealing an ornate interior filled with exotic furnishings and intricate patterns. The princess, dressed in traditional Abyssinian attire, exudes an air of grace and sophistication. Her elaborate headdress, adorned with precious stones and intricate goldwork, adds to her regal appearance. The servants, dressed in their own colourful and distinctive garb, attend to her every need, their attentiveness a testament to their devotion and loyalty. The meticulous detail and vibrant colours of this engraving transport us to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Abyssinia, now known as Ethiopia. The image serves as a reminder of the intricate connections between different parts of the world and the diverse and beautiful traditions that continue to shape our global community.
