EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled "Man and Woman of Goa, India, 1818," offers a glimpse into the traditional attire and daily life of the people of Goa during the early 19th century. The man, dressed in a short tunic and cloak, dons a headdress adorned with feathers, while holding a lance and smoking a pipe. His stern expression and military attire suggest that he may be a local soldier or tribal leader. The woman, dressed in a long tunic and basket on her head, wears a similar headdress, but with more elaborate feathers and beads. She holds a basket of fruit, perhaps a symbol of her role as a provider in her community. Her serene expression conveys a sense of pride and dignity. Goa, a region located on the western coast of India, was a Portuguese colony during this time. The presence of European influence is evident in the man's military attire and the woman's basket, which resembles those commonly used in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and other parts of Asia. Mary Anne Venning, the author and illustrator of "A Geographical Present being Descriptions of the Principal Countries of the World," created this engraving to educate her readers about the diverse cultures and peoples of the world. Venning, a prolific writer and tutor, specialized in educational books on geography, conchology, and mineralogy during the Regency and Georgian periods. This image, along with her other works, provides valuable insights into the world of the past and the richness of human diversity.
