EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving from 1843 captures a scene of Men of the Kingdom of Gingiro crossing the Gibe River (Zebee River) in Ethiopia using an inflated cowskin. The image, expertly crafted by Antonio Sasso for Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World, provides a glimpse into the traditional practices and customs of African civilizations in the 19th century. The men depicted in this print showcase their ingenuity and resourcefulness as they navigate the river on a makeshift raft made from an inflated cowskin. This method of transportation highlights their deep connection to nature and their ability to adapt to their environment. As we observe this historical moment frozen in time, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage and traditions that have been passed down through generations in Ethiopia. The intricate details captured in this engraving offer a window into a world that may be unfamiliar to many, shedding light on the diverse ways in which different societies have thrived throughout history. Through art like this, we can appreciate the beauty and complexity of human civilization across continents and centuries, celebrating both our differences and our shared humanity.
