"Alpaca left and Vicuna right llamas" is an illustration from "Le Costume Ancien et Moderne," a comprehensive study of the world's clothing and customs across various regions and historical periods. Authored by the Italian writer Jules Ferrario, the work was published in the early 19th century, specifically around the 1820s-1830s. The illustration is part of Volume II of the series and is featured on plate 12, showcasing the distinct characteristics of the South American camelids, the alpaca and the vicuña.

The image is a testament to the meticulous documentation and artistic representation of traditional attire and animal breeds by Ferrario and his collaborators, including the engraver Vittorio Raineri, who played a significant role in bringing the visual elements of the publication to life. The alpaca and vicuña are depicted in a naturalistic style, highlighting their importance in the Andean culture not only for their wool but also as a symbol of the region's rich biodiversity.

"Le Costume Ancien et Moderne" was an ambitious project that aimed to provide an encyclopedic overview of global fashions and customs before photography became widespread. The inclusion of the alpaca and vicuña in this collection underscores the significance of these animals in the cultural and economic fabric of the societies they originate from. The work remains a valuable resource for historians, fashion scholars, and enthusiasts of cultural studies, offering insights into the dress and traditions of people from various parts of the world during the early 19th century.
