Alsatian Costumes in the Market Place of Strasburg: A Glimpse into the Rich Cultural Heritage of Alsace, France, 1975 This photograph, taken in 1975, depicts a bustling marketplace in the heart of Strasbourg, Alsace, France. The image transports us back in time, showcasing the traditional Alsatian costumes worn by the local women as they go about their daily business. The marketplace, filled with the sounds of lively chatter and the aroma of fresh produce, serves as the perfect backdrop for this enchanting scene. The women, dressed in their vibrant and intricately designed traditional garments, stand out against the simple, earth-toned stalls and the grey, weathered buildings that surround them. The Alsatian region, located in northeastern France, has a rich cultural heritage that is deeply rooted in both French and German influences. This is reflected in the unique and beautiful costumes worn by the women, which combine elements of both French and German fashion. The traditional Alsatian costume, also known as the "Frack," consists of a long, full skirt, a blouse with lace collars and cuffs, and a fitted bodice. The women also wear aprons adorned with intricate embroidery and colorful patterns. The headdresses, known as "cotton caps," are often decorated with ribbons and flowers. This photograph, from the collection "Illustrated Travels" by H.W. Bates, published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and the rich cultural traditions of Alsace. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the unique customs and traditions of different regions and communities around the world.
