EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the costume of an Ethiopian noble from the 16th century. The engraving, created by Christoph Krieger and later engraved by H. Catenacci and Fellmann, is a remarkable representation of the attire worn by nobility during this time period. The nobleman in the image is adorned in a large turban, a white linen cape and robe, as well as a cotton chemise. His outfit is completed with a striped belt that holds both a scimitar and dagger, adding to his regal appearance. The intricate details of his clothing are beautifully captured within the decorative frame surrounding him. This print originates from Cesare Vecellio's renowned work "Costumes anciens et modernes" published in Paris between 1859-1860. Gerard Seguin and E. F. Huyot skillfully transformed Krieger's woodcut into this woodblock engraving. The historical significance of this artwork lies not only in its depiction of Ethiopian fashion but also in its portrayal of African culture during the 16th century. It offers us insight into the rich history and diversity found on the African continent. Whether displayed for educational purposes or admired for its artistic value, this print serves as a testament to Ethiopia's noble past and contributes to our understanding of global history through visual artistry.
