EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, taken from Mary Anne Vennings' "A Geographical Present being Descriptions of the Principal Countries of the World," published in London in 1818 by Darton, Harvey and Darton, offers a rare glimpse into the lives of Peruvian or Inca people during the early 19th century. The image features a group of men and women adorned in traditional attire, showcasing their rich cultural heritage. The women wear long skirts, intricately patterned bandanas, and elaborate feather headdresses, while the men don cloaks and carry bows and quivers of arrows. The scene is set against a backdrop of rugged terrain, suggesting the mountainous regions of Peru. Mary Anne Vennings was a prolific writer and educator of the Regency and Georgian eras, known for her works on geography, conchology, and mineralogy. Her "Geographical Present" was designed to provide a comprehensive and accurate understanding of the world, with detailed descriptions and illustrations of various countries and their inhabitants. This engraving, in particular, offers a valuable record of the traditional costumes and customs of the Peruvian or Inca people, providing a window into their vibrant and distinctive culture. The intricately detailed engraving, with its rich colours and fine lines, is a testament to the skill of the engraver and the high-quality production values of the time. The image captures the essence of a people and a place that have long since been shaped by the passage of time and the encroachment of modernity, making it an invaluable historical document and a beautiful work of art in its own right.
