EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, entitled 'Peasants of the Canton of Grisons in their wool costumes, Switzerland, 18th century,' offers a glimpse into the traditional attire of the rural inhabitants of the Swiss canton of Grisons during the Age of Enlightenment. The men are dressed in red waistcoats, blue jackets, and breeches, reflecting the region's distinctive style known as 'Abiti de Grigioni.' Their simple yet elegant outfits are a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the local people, who made use of the abundant natural resources available to them. The engraving, created by Verico for Giulio Ferrario's 'Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World,' also features a megalithic structure in the background, hinting at the rich archaeological heritage of the region. The presence of such structures, like the one depicted in Albersdorf, Germany, is a reminder of the Neolithic tribes that once inhabited the area thousands of years ago. The intricately detailed illustration invites us to explore the history and culture of the Canton of Grisons during the 18th century, a time when traditional ways of life were being shaped by the influences of the wider world. The handcoloured copperplate engraving is a beautiful and evocative representation of a bygone era, offering a unique insight into the fashion, history, and traditions of the people of this fascinating region.
