EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Migliavacca for Giulio Ferrrario's "Costumes Antique and Modern of All Peoples" published in Florence in 1842, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Island Carib or Kalinago people from the West Indies. The image showcases a Rattan table laden with food and a collection of intricately woven baskets, all crafted from the abundant natural resources of their island home. The Rattan table, with its elegant and sturdy design, is the perfect setting for the colorful array of fruits, vegetables, and fish that adorn its surface. The Island Carib people, also known as the Kalinago, were renowned for their skill in weaving and crafting various utilitarian items from the Rattan palm and other local vegetation. The baskets, expertly woven from straw, served multiple purposes – from storing food and fish to carrying water and other essentials. The Island Carib people, an indigenous tribe native to the Caribbean islands, have a rich cultural heritage that is deeply rooted in their connection to the land and the sea. Their customs, traditions, and utensils, such as the Rattan table and baskets, reflect their resourcefulness and adaptability in utilizing the natural resources available to them. This enchanting image offers a window into the past, providing a glimpse into the lives of these fascinating people and their unique way of life.
