EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Costume of the Canton of Valais, Switzerland, 18th Century: A Glimpse into the Distinctive Traditional Attire of the People of Valais" This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Verico for Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" (Il Costume Antico e Moderno), published in Florence in 1837, offers a fascinating glimpse into the traditional attire of the people of Valais, a canton located in the southwestern part of Switzerland. The image showcases the unique and distinctive clothing styles that were popular in this region during the 18th century. Two women, dressed in the typical costumes of the Canton of Valais, are depicted in the foreground. They wear small, round caps, which are a distinctive feature of the Valaisan costume. These caps, known as "Casquettes Valaisannes," are made of felt and have a distinctive shape that resembles a bell. The women's clothing consists of long, full skirts, often made of wool, and blouses with high necklines and long sleeves. In the background, a lazy young man is shown in the slovenly clothes of the Lower Valais. His attire is in contrast to the elegant and formal dress of the women. He wears a simple tunic and trousers, and his cap is a simple, conical hat. This contrast highlights the differences in social status and the varying fashion trends within the canton. The scene takes place in a village setting, with the women likely on their way to the market. A cabbage plant can be seen in the foreground, symbolizing the agricultural nature of the region and the importance of farming to the Valaisan people. This historical illustration provides a valuable insight into the traditional costumes and daily life of the people of Valais during the 18th century.
