EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Andrea Bernieri for Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World," published in Florence, Italy in 1843, offers a fascinating glimpse into the mysterious world of the Guanche people, the aboriginal Berber tribe that once inhabited the Canary Islands. The image depicts a sepulchral cave filled with mummies, providing a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage and history of this ancient civilization. The Guanche people, believed to have originated from North Africa, lived on the Canary Islands for over a thousand years before their gradual disappearance following the Spanish conquest in the late 15th century. They are known for their unique customs, language, and religious practices, which were deeply rooted in their connection to the land and the natural world. The cave, adorned with intricate carvings and adorned with offerings, serves as a sacred burial site for the Guanche mummies. The meticulously preserved bodies, dressed in traditional clothing and adorned with jewellery, are a testament to the tribe's reverence for their ancestors and their belief in an afterlife. Bernieri's exquisite illustration not only captures the essence of the Guanche people and their traditions but also showcases the artistic skill and attention to detail of the copperplate engraving process. This rare and evocative image offers a valuable insight into a fascinating and often overlooked chapter of human history.
