EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 18th-century handcoloured copperplate engraving by Nasi, from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," we are transported back in time to the quaint countryside of Bern, Switzerland. Two country maids, dressed in fashionable variants of their ancient costume, are hard at work. Their traditional attire, known as the "Abito dei Bernesi," showcases the rich cultural heritage of the inhabitants of Schwyz, a region in central Switzerland. The maid on the left dons a distinctive butterfly wing cap, a popular headpiece in rural Bern during this era. Her outfit is adorned with intricate floral patterns, reflecting the region's deep connection to nature. She accessorizes her look with delicate earrings and a necklace, adding a touch of elegance to her rustic appearance. Her companion, wearing a similar costume, sports a more modest headpiece, adorned with a simple floral wreath. Both maids exude a sense of pride and strength, embodying the resilience and resourcefulness of the rural population during this period. This illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the historical fashion and daily life of the country maids in Bern, Switzerland, during the 18th century. The intricate details and vibrant colours of the handcoloured copperplate engraving bring the image to life, allowing us to appreciate the rich cultural heritage of this beautiful region.
