EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a female presser in Paris during the early 19th century. Dressed in a beautiful blue dress with a white scarf, her hair styled in ringlets and adorned with a bignon, she exudes elegance and grace as she diligently irons clothes on a table.
The hand-colored copperplate engraving by Gatine, based on an illustration by Louis-Marie Lante from "Ouvrieres de Paris" (Tradeswomen of Paris), showcases the skill and dedication of this tradeswoman. Her attention to detail and precision are evident as she works with an iron to smooth out wrinkles and creases in the fabric.
The setting is simple yet charming, with traditional furniture adding to the authenticity of the scene. The woman's posture and focus on her task convey a sense of pride in her work, highlighting the importance of craftsmanship and labor during that time period.
This image not only provides a glimpse into the daily life of women working in Paris centuries ago but also serves as a reminder of their contribution to society. It is a tribute to all those who have dedicated themselves to their craft, no matter how humble or overlooked it may seem.
