"Inhabitants of Loro, New Holland, plate 60 from Le Costume Ancien et Moderne" is a historical illustration that was included in the early 19th-century work "Le Costume Ancien et Moderne" by the Italian author Giulio Ferrario. The illustration is part of a comprehensive study on the traditional clothing and costumes of people from various parts of the world. The work was published circa the 1820s-1830s and is notable for its detailed engravings and descriptions of the attire and customs of different cultures.

The plate in question, number 60, depicts the indigenous inhabitants of Loro, a region in what was then known as New Holland, the name European explorers used to refer to Australia before it was officially named. The illustration is based on the drawings by Sydney Parkinson, who was a Scottish natural history artist. Parkinson is best known for his work as the illustrator on board the HMS Endeavour during Captain James Cook's first voyage to the Pacific Ocean. His sketches and drawings provided Europeans with some of the first visual representations of the Australian continent's indigenous people and their way of life.

The illustration captures the traditional dress and appearance of the Loro inhabitants, offering a glimpse into their culture at a time when European contact was still relatively new. The work of Ferrario, including this plate, is considered significant for its attempt to document the diversity of global costumes and cultures during a period of intense curiosity and expansion in Europe. The engravings in "Le Costume Ancien et Moderne" are valued both for their artistic merit and for their ethnographic importance, contributing to the historical understanding of indigenous cultures during the early 19th century.

As a historical document, "Inhabitants of Loro, New Holland, plate 60 from Le Costume Ancien et Moderne" serves as a valuable resource for researchers interested in the history of fashion, anthropology, and colonial encounters between Europeans and indigenous peoples. The work is also a testament to the efforts of early explorers and scholars to record and disseminate knowledge about the wider world.
