EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the American or Red Race Type, as depicted in a nineteenth-century concept of "race". The image is a detailed representation from Table V of "Prospectus of all races of the globe and their fogge di vestire", found in "La Geografia a occhio" by Lithografia Corbetta, Milan in 1853.
The individual portrayed showcases distinct features that were commonly associated with this particular race type during that era. From the unique hairstyle to the coloration and contouring, every detail reflects the cultural and anthropological beliefs prevalent at the time.
It is important to note that while this classification was once widely accepted, it has since been scientifically surpassed by more accurate and inclusive terms such as ethnicity or phenotype. However, this historical image serves as a reminder of how perceptions of race have evolved over time.
The photograph not only provides insight into past ideologies surrounding human diversity but also highlights Italy's role in disseminating ethnological knowledge through works like these. It offers a glimpse into the complexities of humanity and serves as a valuable artifact for those interested in anthropology, ethnoanthropology, and geography.
Overall, this print is not just an artistic depiction but also a window into our collective history and understanding of different human races throughout time.
