EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled "Abiti de Re, &c. - Costumes of the Kings of the Hebrews: King Saul of Israel and Judah," is an exquisite illustration from Giulio Ferrario's seminal work, "Il Costume Antico e Moderno," published in Florence in 1847. The image showcases King Saul of Israel and Judah, one of the earliest monarchs of the Israelite Kingdom, humbly kneeling before a Hebrew rabbi and a menorah candlelabrum. King Saul, dressed in a rich purple cape overlaying white robes, embodies the regal grandeur of ancient Hebrew monarchy. His military insignia, including a deer, lion, eagle, and horse, adorn his attire, symbolizing the strength and power of the Israelite tribes. A banner and standard, bearing the tribal emblems, are displayed prominently behind him. The Hebrew rabbi, a symbol of wisdom and spiritual guidance, sits in front of a beautifully ornate tabernacle, with scrolls and insegne militari (military insignia) surrounding them. The menorah candlelabrum, a sacred Jewish artifact, burns brightly, casting a warm, inviting glow on the scene. This illustration offers a unique glimpse into the rich history of Hebrew culture, blending together elements of ancient military heraldry, religious symbolism, and the fashion of the time. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this hand-colored copperplate engraving make it a captivating and essential addition to any collection of historical fashion or Jewish studies.
