EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Bernieri for Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World" published in Florence, Italy in 1837, offers a fascinating glimpse into the traditional attire of Native American hunters from Canada during the 19th century. The image showcases a group of men, dressed in various garments that were essential for their hunting lifestyle. The hunters are depicted wearing capes, tunics, and trousers, all made from animal hides. The capes, often made from the pelt of a large animal such as a bison or elk, provided warmth and protection against the harsh Canadian weather. The tunics, or shirts, were typically made from the hides of smaller animals, such as deer or caribou. The trousers, or leggings, were also made from animal hides and secured with thongs or ties. The hunters in this engraving are also armed with muskets, a common firearm during the 19th century. Muskets were effective for hunting large game, and their use allowed Native American communities to adapt to changing hunting practices and compete with European settlers. This illustration offers a valuable record of the traditional clothing and hunting practices of Native American communities in Canada during a time of significant cultural and historical transformation. It also highlights the rich artistic traditions of European engravers, who captured the essence of diverse cultures from around the world in intricate detail.
