EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Verico for Giulio Ferrario's Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World in Florence, Italy, in 1847, offers a vivid depiction of a Bard in sky-blue robes accompanied by three ancient Britons. The Bard, with his distinctive attire and a 12-string harp in hand, embodies the mystical and poetic spirit of ancient Britain. His sky-blue robes, adorned with intricate patterns, symbolize his connection to the natural world and the heavens. The Briton in the Roman fashion is depicted wearing a multicolored cape and a red tunic. This attire reflects the cultural fusion that occurred during the Roman occupation of Britain. The two female Britons, dressed in tunics and skirts, add to the authenticity of the scene, showcasing the traditional clothing of the time. The intricate details in this engraving, from the folds in the robes to the intricate patterns on the harp, highlight the exceptional craftsmanship of the artist. The use of handcolouring adds depth and richness to the image, making it a stunning visual representation of ancient British culture. This illustration offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to connect with the history and traditions of ancient Britain. It is a testament to the enduring allure of the past and the power of art to transport us to another time and place.
