EDITORS COMMENTS
Cofre de Perote, also known as Naupa-Tecutepetl, is an extinct volcano located in the state of Veracruz, Mexico. This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Roberto Freschi for Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World," published in Florence, Italy in 1841, offers a captivating glimpse into the past. The image showcases the majestic beauty of Cofre de Perote, with its distinctive conical shape and snow-capped peak rising above the lush vegetation and rolling hills of the surrounding landscape. The volcano, which last erupted around 1,200 years ago, is a significant geological feature in the region and holds cultural significance for the indigenous peoples of Mexico. The name "Naupa-Tecutepetl" translates to "mountain of the old serpent" in the Nahuatl language, reflecting the ancient beliefs and traditions of the people who lived in the area. This intricately detailed illustration provides a window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the natural wonder of Cofre de Perote as it may have appeared during the early 19th century. The handcoloured copperplate engraving technique, popular during the period, adds an artistic touch to the image, making it a valuable historical and aesthetic treasure. Today, Cofre de Perote remains a popular tourist destination and a reminder of Mexico's rich cultural and natural heritage.
