EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled "Costume of Ancient Germanic Peoples on a Journey," transports us back to the early centuries of the European continent. The image, taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1837, depicts a group of Germanic tribespeople embarking on a journey. Dressed in short capes and tunics, they are armed with spears and swords, ready for any potential threat. Their faces exhibit a mix of determination and curiosity as they traverse the rugged terrain. In the background, we see a wooden shelter, suggesting that they may be stopping for a banquet. The scene is filled with the aroma of grilling meat and the sound of crackling fire. The Germanic tribespeople are known for their close connection to nature and their nomadic lifestyle. Their clothing, made from animal skins, reflects their practicality and resourcefulness. The intricate details of the engraving, from the folds of their garments to the textures of their weapons, showcase the skill of Verico, the engraver. Philipp Cluver's "Germania Antiqua" served as the inspiration for this illustration. Cluver's work was a seminal contribution to the study of ancient Germanic culture and history. Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" aimed to document the diverse fashion and customs of various ethnic groups around the globe. This image offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich history and traditions of the ancient Germanic peoples.
