EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by the renowned Italian artist Antonio Sasso for Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World," offers a fascinating glimpse into the traditional attire and daily life of the native inhabitants of Dalagoa Bay, located in Maputo, Mozambique, around 1843. The natives are depicted in front of their circular huts, adorned with intricate tattoos covering their bodies. One man is shown smoking tobacco from a curious hookah pipe, crafted from bamboo and a cow horn. He wears breeches and is armed with a spear, indicating his readiness for potential threats. The women, wearing similar attire, are seen carrying various household items and engaging in activities such as cooking or tending to their children. The village scene exudes a sense of community and connection to the land. The intricate details of the tattoos, the textures of the huts, and the authenticity of the depicted items all contribute to the richness and authenticity of this illustration. Sasso's masterful use of hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a valuable historical record of the native people of Dalagoa Bay during this time period.
