EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century, titled "Barrow-woman" offers a fascinating glimpse into the dress and manners of English society during that era. The print, part of a private collection, was originally featured in John Murray's publication "Picturesque Representations of the Dress and Manners of the English" in 1814. The image depicts a Barrow-woman, an intriguing character who played a significant role in early British culture. Dressed in traditional attire, she carries a barrow filled with potatoes – symbolizing her occupation as a vendor or seller. Her costume reflects the fashion trends prevalent at that time, showcasing both style and functionality. This portrayal not only highlights the unique character of this Barrow-woman but also provides insights into broader aspects of European history. With references to Germany and Germanic culture, it suggests connections between England and its continental neighbors during this period. As we admire this enchanting engraving by an unknown English artist from long ago, we are transported back to an era when societal norms were vastly different from today. It serves as a reminder of how our understanding and perception of fashion, manners, and society have evolved over centuries while preserving glimpses into our shared heritage.
