EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Costumes des marchandes de poisson de Porto (engraving)" showcases the vibrant and diverse attire worn by fish sellers in Porto, Portugal during the 19th century. The engraving, created by an anonymous European School artist, is part of a private collection and has been digitally cleaned to enhance its visual appeal. The image was originally published as an illustration for Louis Figuier's book "Les Races Humaines" in 1872. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the ethnological aspects of different human races and their distinctive clothing styles. By depicting these native costumes, the engraving highlights both the cultural diversity and unique characteristics of various racial groups. While it is important to acknowledge that such depictions can perpetuate stereotypes about race and ethnicity, this artwork serves as a valuable historical document that sheds light on humanity's rich tapestry. It invites viewers to appreciate the differences in dress among natives from different regions while challenging preconceived notions about race. The bustling market scene portrayed in this print captures not only the essence of daily life but also emphasizes how clothing plays a significant role in defining one's identity within society. Through this image, we are reminded of our shared humanity despite our distinct cultural backgrounds—a reminder that transcends time and continues to resonate with audiences today.
