EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving by Giovanni Antonio Sasso, taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" published in Florence in 1847, offers a captivating glimpse into the traditional costumes of the ancient Hebrew patriarchs and other significant figures in Jewish history. The illustration features a collection of intricately designed garments worn by various biblical characters, including Abraham, Moses, and angels. Abraham, depicted in the lower left corner, is shown wearing a long, white robe with a purple cape, signifying his status and wealth. His simple yet elegant attire reflects the humility and piety of this revered patriarch. Moses, the prophet and leader of the Israelites, is illustrated wearing a priestly garment adorned with intricate gold embroidery and a tallit, or prayer shawl, draped over his shoulders. The blue and white stripes on his garment symbolize the colors of the Israeli flag and represent the unity and divine protection of the Jewish people. In the center, a group of angels is depicted in flowing white robes, their wings spread wide, symbolizing the divine presence and protection of God. Other figures in the illustration include King Saul, wearing a royal purple robe and a golden diadem, and the Rabbi, dressed in a simple white robe and a black hat, signifying his scholarly and spiritual role within the Jewish community. The illustration also features various symbols of Jewish faith, such as the Menorah and the Candelabrum, which are prominently displayed, emphasizing the rich cultural and historical significance of these ancient costumes and the enduring traditions of the Jewish people.
