EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the traditional attire of a Paulista woman from Sao Paulo, Brazil, as depicted in John Mawes' "Travels in the Interior of Brazil," published in 1812. The Paulista people, named after the city of Sao Paulo, were primarily European settlers and their descendants. In this engraving, the woman wears a long wool coat, which was a common garment in the region due to its warmth and durability. The coat is edged with rich velvet and intricately adorned with gold lace, adding an elegant and opulent touch to the outfit. The engraving, created by Dall Acqua and hand-colored by Laxaretti, was originally published in Giovanni Battista Sonzogno's "Raccolta de Viaggi Piu Interessanti" between 1815 and 1817. The detailed and vibrant colors bring the costume to life, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of the design. The Paulista woman's attire reflects the blending of European and indigenous influences that characterized the fashion of the time in Brazil. The use of wool, velvet, and gold lace were all popular European elements, while the long coat was practical for the climate. The Paulista people were known for their agricultural prowess and their ability to adapt to the Brazilian environment, and their unique fashion sense was a reflection of their rich cultural heritage. This beautiful and historic image offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a valuable insight into the fashion and traditions of the Paulista people during the early 19th century.
