Il costume antico e moderno, o, storia del governo, della milizia, della religione, delle arti, scienze ed usanze di tutti i popoli antichi e moderni, provata coi monumenti dell'antichità e rappresentata cogli analoghi disegni dal dottor Giulio Ferrario : America
The America volumes of Giulio Ferrario's Il costume antico e moderno, a multi-volume Italian survey of the dress, religion, warfare and customs of the world's peoples, issued in Florence by Vincenzo Batelli in 1826 for readers of illustrated encyclopaedias. Hand-coloured engraved plates show indigenous American figures in small groups against sketched landscapes, with bows, spears, feather headdresses, patterned mantles and body ornament, usable for costume detail, isolated standing figures and soft watercolour palettes.
