EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Giarre and Stanghi for Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" published in Florence in 1847, offers a glimpse into the interior of a traditional Russian loghouse, or Izba, from the 18th century. The image transports us back in time, revealing the simple yet warm and inviting atmosphere of a rural Russian home. At the heart of the room, a woman tends to her chickens, their clucking and pecking adding to the lively scene. A dog and cat lounge nearby, their presence a testament to the close bond between humans and their animals in rural communities. In the background, a large brick oven dominates the space, its open door revealing the embers within, ready to provide warmth and sustenance. The loghouse's interior is characterized by its wooden beams, which crisscross the ceiling and support the roof. A long bench runs along the wall, serving as both a place to sit and a storage area. A simple table, adorned with a few dishes and utensils, sits in the foreground, suggesting a meal is about to be prepared. The engraving's intricate details and vibrant colours bring the scene to life, allowing us to imagine the daily routines and simple pleasures of rural Russian life in the 18th century. This beautiful illustration is a testament to the enduring allure of traditional rural homes and the rich cultural heritage they represent.
