EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1823 depicts a Finnish peasant woman dressed in traditional winter wear of the 18th century. The artist, Johann Gottlieb Georgi, skillfully captures the essence of this rural woman's attire and cultural heritage. The peasant woman is adorned in a dress made of coarse walmar cloth, showcasing her practicality and resourcefulness. Her painted and embroidered apron adds a touch of color to her ensemble, while her linen scarf and girdle provide warmth against the harsh winter elements. The necklaces she wears are crafted from delicate glass beads, adding an element of beauty to her otherwise simple outfit. This image offers us a glimpse into the rich traditions and customs of Finnish society during this era. It reflects not only their agricultural way of life but also their deep connection to nature and their appreciation for handmade craftsmanship. J-B. Eyries' publication "La Russie: Costumes, Moeurs et Usages des Russes" provides valuable insight into Russian costumes, manners, and mores at that time. This particular illustration showcases the unique style worn by Finnish peasants living in Western Finland. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical artwork for us to appreciate today. Through it, we can gain a deeper understanding of Finland's past and celebrate the enduring beauty found within its traditional costume designs.
