EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Migliavacca, titled "Active Volcanoes in the Area of Turbaco, Colombia," is an intriguing glimpse into the natural wonders and the rich cultural heritage of South America during the early 19th century. The image, which was published in Giulio Ferrrario's "Costumes Antique and Modern of All Peoples" (Il Costume Antico e Moderno di Tutti i Popoli) in Florence, Italy, in 1842, showcases the majestic and powerful presence of active volcanoes in the region of Turbaco, Colombia. The engraving captures the raw beauty and destructive force of nature, with three volcanoes depicted in various stages of eruption. The central volcano, with its towering plume of ash and smoke, dominates the scene, while the other two volcanoes emit smaller plumes of steam and ash. The intricate details of the engraving, from the undulating terrain to the individual trees and plants, are a testament to the skill and artistry of Migliavacca. The image also provides a glimpse into the anthropological and cultural context of the time, as it was part of a larger work that aimed to document the costumes, manners, and customs of various races, tribes, and nations around the world. The inclusion of the active volcanoes in the series underscores the interconnectedness of nature and culture, and the fascination that the natural world held for Europeans during the 19th century. Overall, this handcoloured copperplate engraving is a captivating and historically significant representation of the natural and cultural landscape of Colombia during the mid-1800s. It offers a unique perspective on the past and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the natural world and the importance of documenting and preserving cultural heritage.
