EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled 'Women of Normandy, France, in a kitchen, 1818,' offers a glimpse into the daily life of women in Normandy during the early 19th century. The image, taken from Mary Anne Venning's educational book 'A Geographical Present being Descriptions of the Principal Countries of the World,' published by Darton, Harvey and Darton in London, showcases a group of women in traditional Normandy attire, hard at work in a kitchen. The women, dressed in tunics and cloaks, wear elaborate tall lace headdresses adorned with feathers, reflecting the regional folk traditions of the time. Their faces are expressive and focused, as they attend to their tasks, which include preparing food and tending to the fire. A man, possibly a husband or father, stands in the background, observing the scene. Mary Anne Venning was a prolific writer and tutor of the Regency and Georgian eras, known for her educational books on geography, conchology, and mineralogy. Her 'Geographical Present' series aimed to provide an accurate and detailed description of the world's countries, making it an essential resource for those seeking knowledge and understanding of various cultures and customs. This image, in particular, offers a fascinating insight into the lives of women in Normandy during the early 19th century, providing a window into a bygone era and offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of this beautiful region of France.
