EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Francisco Lavagnoli Veronese in 1837 for Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World," offers a glimpse into the daily life of the indigenous Kwakiuti (also known as Chelaski or Cheslaskee) people living along Johnston Strait on Vancouver Island. The engraving depicts a picturesque village scene, with colorfully painted houses cascading up a terraced hillside. The villagers, dressed in traditional clothing, engage in various activities. A fisherman, clad in a fur robe and carrying a harpoon, is shown in the foreground, while a group of men in canoes prepare to set out on the water. Kayaks are anchored on the shore, ready for use. The serene beauty of the natural surroundings is reflected in the still waters of the strait. This engraving provides an intriguing window into the rich cultural heritage of the Kwakiuti people, offering a glimpse into their way of life over 180 years ago.
