Bread and Corn Tortilla-Making in Mexico: A Timeless Tradition Preserved in an 1843 Handcoloured Copperplate Engraving This handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled 'Bread and Corn Tortilla-Making in Mexico,' offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Mexico and its traditional food preparation practices. The image, created by Verico for Giulio Ferrario's 'Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World,' published in Florence, Italy, in 1843, depicts a bustling scene of men and women engaged in the ancient art of making tortillas from maize. In the foreground, a woman skillfully grinds maize between two large stones, her focus unwavering as she transforms the raw grain into a fine, nutritious meal. Nearby, another woman expertly shapes the dough into small, round tortillas using her hands. The dexterity and precision required to create these perfect rounds are evident in her expression and the ease with which she works. Meanwhile, a man tends to a fire, his face etched with concentration as he grills the tortillas on a griddle. The tantalizing aroma of freshly cooked tortillas wafts through the air, adding to the sense of community and tradition that permeates the scene. The intricate details of the engraving, from the textures of the clothing and the tools used to the expressions on the faces of the people, transport us back in time to a simpler era. This beautiful illustration not only showcases the importance of corn and tortilla-making in Mexican culture but also highlights the enduring connection between food, tradition, and the human spirit.
