EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled "View of city and mountain of Potosi, Bolivia," is an exquisite depiction of the renowned city and its towering mountain, both of which have played significant roles in the history of South America. Potosi, located in present-day Bolivia, was once the largest city in the Americas and the center of the world's largest silver mining operation. The mountain, Cerro Rico, or "Rich Hill," has been mined since the 16th century, contributing to the economic growth of the Spanish Empire. The image captures the city's layout, with its narrow streets, whitewashed houses, and the imposing presence of the mountain in the background. The mines are visible as dark, ominous openings on the mountain's side. The engraving also highlights the diverse population of Potosi, showcasing various races, tribes, and nations, reflecting the rich cultural tapestry of the region. This engraving is from "Costumes Antique and Modern of All Peoples" (Il Costume Antico e Moderno di Tutti i Popoli), a comprehensive anthropological work by Giulio Ferrario, published in Florence, Italy, in 1842. Ferrario's work aimed to document and preserve the customs, manners, and costumes of various peoples around the world, making it an essential resource for scholars and enthusiasts of anthropology and ethnography. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this handcoloured copperplate engraving offer a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the history, culture, and daily life of Potosi and its inhabitants during the 19th century.
