EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Verico after Giuseppe Bramati for Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World" published in Florence, Italy, in 1844, portrays the ancient figures of Orlando and Oliver, each adorned with intricately designed crowns and brandishing weapons. Orlando, also known as Roland or Roland the Gladiator, is depicted wearing a tall, conical helmet with a plume, a crown adorned with pearls and feathers, and a sword with an elaborate hilt and crossguard. His shield bears the emblem of the Holy Roman Emperor, Charlemagne, signifying his loyalty and service. Oliver, on the other hand, wears a more modest crown with a cross at its apex, and holds a long, curved sword, symbolizing the agility and cunning of the legendary figure. The presence of Charlemagne's weapons and symbols in this illustration further emphasizes the connection between these ancient figures and the chivalric ideals of the medieval period. The engraving, with its rich details and vibrant colours, offers a glimpse into the romanticized world of knights, honour, and valor, as immortalized in works such as the "Song of Roland" and "Orlando Furioso." The intricate designs of the crowns, weapons, and other accoutrements not only serve to enhance the visual appeal of the image but also provide valuable insights into the artistic and cultural sensibilities of the time.
