EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Ancient Breton costumes" takes us back in time to the 1st century BC, during the reign of Julius Caesar and the height of the Roman Empire. The artist, Penguilly l Haridon, beautifully captures the intricate details of traditional Breton costumes worn by Celtic warriors in Brittany. The image showcases a group of men adorned in elaborate attire, reflecting their rich cultural heritage. Their clothing is embellished with vibrant patterns and symbols that speak volumes about their identity as Bretons. Intriguingly, some warriors proudly display tattoos on their bodies, further emphasizing their bravery and warrior status. Standing amidst a backdrop of menhirs or standing stones - an important symbol in ancient Celtic culture - these warriors exude strength and resilience. Their unique hairstyles add another layer to their distinctiveness, showcasing individuality within this united group. This engraving not only offers a glimpse into ancient history but also serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Celts and their influence on European culture. It reminds us that even centuries later, we can still appreciate and learn from our ancestors' traditions and customs. With its digitally cleaned image quality courtesy of Look and Learn's restoration efforts, this print allows us to fully immerse ourselves in this mesmerizing historical scene captured by Octave Penguilly l Haridon for Vie De Cesar compiled by Henri De Montaut (Petit Journal) in 1865.
