EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Giovanni Antonio Sasso in 1837, offers a glimpse into the traditional costumes of the Aleutian natives residing in the Nushagak area of Bristol Bay, Alaska. The Aleuts, an indigenous people of the Bering Sea, are renowned for their skillful adaptation to the harsh Alaskan climate. In this image, Aleutian men and women are depicted wearing clothing made primarily of sealskin and fur. The men don parkas with hoods, reaching down to their knees, and are adorned with intricate beadwork and feathers. They carry wooden boxes and a mirror, possibly used for personal grooming or as a symbol of wealth and status. The women wear long, fitted dresses with fur trim and intricate beadwork designs. Their headdresses are adorned with feathers and beads, and they carry baskets filled with dried fish, a staple food source in their diet. The fish are hung on a beam to dry, preserving them for the long winter months. This engraving, part of Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World," provides a valuable record of the traditional attire and daily life of the Aleutian natives in the early 19th century. It is a testament to their rich cultural heritage and their remarkable ability to thrive in the challenging environment of the Alaskan wilderness.
