EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Rinaldo Nanini Faentino and published in Giulio Ferrario's Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World in 1834, offers a glimpse into the vibrant and intricate Berber costumes of Tunisia during the 19th century. The image transports us back in time, as we observe a cook or chef (left) preparing a meal over an open fire, while a waterseller offers refreshments to a thirsty customer. In contrast, a sorbet seller (right) entices passersby with icy sweet treats, and a coffee seller, or caffettiere, pours steaming cups of the popular beverage for patrons. The customers, dressed in various Berber costumes, sit on a plush carpet in the foreground, enjoying their meals and beverages. The meticulous details in this engraving showcase the rich textures and patterns of the Berber clothing, providing a visual feast for the eyes. This illustration offers a unique window into the daily life and customs of the Berber people of Tunisia during the 19th century.
