EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of an Alsatian peasant woman in her traditional festival costume from the 19th century. Adorned with intricate silver thread embroidery, her bonnet and bodice showcase the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating this exquisite attire. The black tie she wears is not just a fashion statement but holds deep cultural significance as it represents the traditions of her town. On special festival days, she would don a vibrant red petticoat, adding a splash of color and joy to the celebrations. To shield herself from the sun or rain, she carries a large straw hat that can be worn over her elegant toque. This accessory not only serves a practical purpose but also adds an element of charm and grace to her overall appearance. The handcolored copperplate engraving by Georges Jacques Gatine beautifully brings out every delicate feature of this Alsatian peasant woman's costume. It transports us back in time to Paris in 1827 when Louis Marie Lante first illustrated these costumes for his renowned work "Costumes de Divers Pays". This print is truly a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic expressions found within different regions around the world. It serves as a reminder of how clothing can reflect history, tradition, and individuality all at once.
