EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cantiniere" takes us back to the 19th century in France, where we catch a glimpse of the remarkable role played by women attached to military regiments. Known as cantinieres or vivandieres, these Frenchwomen were responsible for selling wine to the troops and working in canteens. The hand-coloured lithograph captures the essence of Parisian costume plates from that era, with exquisite details heightened with gum arabic. Created around 1855-56, this artwork showcases the unique fashion sense prevalent during that time. As we delve into this piece of history, we are transported to an army camp bustling with activity. The cantiniere featured here is depicted diligently attending her duties amidst a backdrop of soldiers and fellow workers. Her presence exudes strength and resilience as she navigates through her responsibilities within the armed forces. Through this engraving, we gain insight into not only the social history but also the significant contributions made by women in supporting military operations during those times. Their dedication and hard work ensured that soldiers had access to essential supplies while away from home. Bridgeman Images presents us with yet another gem from their collection - a visual representation of an era long gone but still resonating today. This artwork serves as a reminder of how individuals like this cantiniere shaped our past and continue to inspire future generations.
