EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Andrea Bernieri for Giulio Ferrrario's "Costumes Antique and Modern of All Peoples" published in Florence in 1842, offers a fascinating glimpse into the distinctive attire of city dwellers and farmers during the mid-19th century. In the foreground, a middle-class man is depicted wearing an elegant overcoat made of sheepskin, adorned with intricate half-moon designs. Beneath his coat, he wears a silk robe, the rich fabric draped gracefully over his body. His queue or pigtail, a common hairstyle for men during this period, is neatly tied at the nape of his neck. In his hand, he holds a pipe filled with tobacco, a popular accessory among the urban elite. In contrast, the farmers in the background are shown in practical clothing suited to their rural lifestyle. They wear heavy jackets and trousers, designed to protect them from the elements. Their simple yet sturdy footwear, visible at the edge of the image, completes their rustic attire. This engraving provides a striking contrast between the fashionable urban elite and the hardworking farmers, highlighting the distinct social classes and their respective lifestyles during the mid-19th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the hand-colored engraving bring the costumes to life, offering a captivating window into the past.
