EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the breathtaking scene of the Glacier at Grindelwald, Switzerland, in the 1800s. The glacier, a natural wonder of the Alps, is shown in all its grandeur, with its icy blue crevasses and towering ice formations. In the background, the iconic Eiger mountain range adds to the awe-inspiring beauty of the landscape. The image also features a quaint stone bridge, likely a popular crossing point for travellers, and the ominously named Teufelsbruche, or Devil's Gorge, a deep ravine that adds to the rugged and untamed feel of the scene. The villages of Andermatt and Schollenen can be seen nestled in the valley below. This engraving is a stunning example of the intricate detail and artistry of the time, created by Migliavacca after the original work of Giulio Ferrario. Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1837, was a groundbreaking work that showcased the diverse fashion and traditions of various cultures around the world. The engraving transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past and the beauty of a bygone era. It serves as a reminder of the power and majesty of nature, and the enduring allure of the Swiss Alps.
