EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 19th century in the Canton of Zurich, Switzerland. The subject of the image is a young girl, who works as a chambermaid in town. What makes this photograph particularly intriguing is how she has modified her traditional rural costume to suit the urban environment. Her outfit showcases a blend of old and new fashion trends. She wears a shorter skirt and ruched sleeves, which deviate from the customary attire worn by girls from her region. This adaptation reflects her desire to embrace contemporary styles while still honoring her roots. The girl's toque hat is adorned with large ribbons, adding an elegant touch to her ensemble. In one hand, she carries an umbrella, perhaps indicating that she values practicality amidst changing weather conditions or simply wants to add another fashionable accessory to her look. The handcolored copperplate engraving beautifully captures every intricate detail of this young chambermaid's outfit. It was created by Georges Jacques Gatine based on an illustration by Louis Marie Lante for "Costumes of Various Countries" published in Paris in 1827. This print offers us a glimpse into history and allows us to appreciate how individuals adapt their clothing choices based on their surroundings and personal preferences.
