EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Verico for Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1847, offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of a Lapp family. The image depicts a cozy scene inside a traditional Lapp hut, where the warmth of the fire contrasts with the harsh, wintry landscape outside. The hut's structure is composed of wood beams, expertly covered with a variety of animal skins, providing both insulation and protection against the elements. The family members, huddled around the fire, are engaged in various activities. Some are mending nets or preparing food, while others are spinning wool or playing with their children. The father figure, dressed in traditional Lapp attire, gazes into the fire, perhaps deep in thought or contemplation. The scene is filled with a sense of community and warmth, as the family comes together to survive the harsh conditions of their Lapland home. The intricate details of the engraving, from the textures of the animal skins to the intricate patterns on the family's clothing, offer a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Lapp people. This historical illustration not only serves as a beautiful work of art but also as an important record of a unique and fascinating way of life that has largely been preserved in the annals of history.
