EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Sasso for Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World, published in Florence, Italy in 1837, offers a glimpse into the traditional attire and cultural practices of the Natives of Unalaska and the Aleutian Islands. The Natives of Unalaska, depicted on the left, are adorned in intricately woven straw hats and facial piercings. The hats, shaped like cones, are a distinctive feature of the Unangax̂ people, who have inhabited the Unalaska Island for over 6,000 years. The piercings, often made of bone or shell, were considered a sign of beauty and maturity. On the right, the Natives of the Aleutian Islands are shown in their hunting garb, dressed in fur coats and carrying essential tools for survival. The Aleuts, who inhabit the Aleutian Islands, are skilled hunters and fishermen, relying on the abundant marine resources for their livelihood. They are shown in this image with a kayak, a traditional hunting vessel, and various weapons such as bows, arrows, and clubs. This engraving is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the indigenous peoples of Alaska, providing a window into their history and traditions. The intricate details of their clothing and accessories, as well as their hunting tools, offer a glimpse into their way of life and their deep connection to the land and the sea.
