EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Giarre and Stanghi, taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1847, offers a glimpse into the lives of Russian nobles and travelers during the icy 18th century. The image depicts a frozen river, transformed into a winter wonderland as horse-drawn sleighs and sleds glide effortlessly over the ice. The elegantly dressed Russian nobles, bundled up against the cold, gaze out at the breathtaking landscape, their faces etched with a sense of wonder and excitement. On the riverbank, men in fur-trimmed coats and hats stand ready to assist with the horses, their strong, sturdy figures a testament to the enduring strength and resilience of the Russian people. In the background, a horse-drawn carriage makes its way across the ice, its occupants shielded from the elements by thick furs and blankets. The intricate details of the engraving, from the intricate patterns on the sleighs and carriages to the ornate clothing and accessories, transport us back in time to an era of grandeur and opulence. This historical illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of the Russian people during the 18th century, a time when the world was connected by trade and exploration, and the wonders of the natural world were a source of both inspiration and challenge. The engraving is a testament to the skill and artistry of the Giarre and Stanghi, who expertly captured the essence of a bygone era, preserving it for future generations to marvel at and learn from. This image is a must-have for anyone with an interest in history, fashion, or the natural world, and is sure to be a conversation starter and a source of inspiration for years to come.
