EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 18th century showcases an Ingrian Finn woman in all her traditional glory. The intricate details of her attire and accessories are beautifully captured by Johann Gottlieb Georgi, a renowned artist of his time. The woman is adorned with a kakoshnik, a Russian bonnet that adds an air of elegance to her ensemble. Her linen mantle buttons over the breast, providing both warmth and style. Double aprons complete her outfit, adding layers of texture and color. Large earrings dangle from her ears, drawing attention to her face and highlighting the beauty that lies within. As a peasant of Ingria in Leningrad Oblast, she represents not only her own culture but also the rich traditions and customs of Russia as a whole. This engraving is part of Jean-Baptiste Eyries' work titled "La Russie: Costumes, Moeurs et Usages des Russes" which explores the costumes, manners, and mores of Russians during this period. It offers us a glimpse into the lives of people who lived centuries ago - their fashion choices reflecting their social status and cultural heritage. As we admire this print today, we can appreciate how fashion has evolved over time while still holding onto its roots. The Ingrian Finn woman reminds us that clothing is more than just fabric; it tells stories about history, society, tradition - encapsulating entire worlds within its seams.
