EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," showcases the diverse attire of the inhabitants of Sennar, a region located in present-day Sudan. The image features six individuals, each dressed in traditional garments that reflect their cultural heritage. In the foreground, a man is depicted wearing a long robe over a white skirt, which is a common attire for men in Sennar. The robe is adorned with intricate patterns and fringes, adding to its visual appeal. Next to him, a young girl is seen wearing a leather fringe skirt, which is an essential part of her ethnic identity. The skirt is adorned with clam shells, which are believed to symbolize her virginity. The shells are carefully arranged to cover the front of her body, reflecting the importance of chastity in her community. A woman is shown carrying water in bowls balanced on a yoke, which is a common sight in rural areas of Sennar. The yoke is made of wood, and the bowls are made of clay, which are filled with water from nearby sources. El Melik Hassan, a prominent figure in Sennar's history, is depicted wearing a goatskin coat and carrying a spear. He is shown with a serious expression, reflecting his warrior status. Another woman is seen wearing a veil and a little cotton skirt. The veil is an essential part of her attire, which is worn to cover her face and hair as a sign of modesty and respect for traditional values. Lastly, a man is shown wearing a goatskin coat and carrying a spear. His attire reflects his role as a hunter and protector of his community. This engraving provides a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the people of Sennar and highlights the diversity of traditional costumes from around the world.
