EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful handcoloured copperplate engraving by Migliavacca, from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" published in Florence in 1844, captures a scene of Austrian farmers making their way to church on a Sunday in the 18th century. Dressed in their finest Sunday best, the farmers and their families proudly display their connection to the land and their hard work. The men wear traditional peasant garb, including high-waisted breeches, long coats, and felt hats, while the women don elegant dresses and aprons adorned with intricate patterns. Oxen pull a cart filled with the farmers and their families, as they journey to the place of worship. The scene is filled with the simple joys of rural life, with children playing and birds flying overhead. In the background, the rolling hills and lush fields are dotted with ploughmen working the land and a sower planting seeds. The farmers' connection to their work and their faith are intertwined, as they take a break from their labor to attend mass and give thanks for the bountiful harvest. This illustration offers a glimpse into the daily life of Austrian farmers during the 18th century, a time when the rhythms of rural life were deeply connected to the land and the seasons. The intricate details of the engraving, from the textures of the clothing to the expressions on the faces of the farmers and their families, make it a captivating historical record and a beautiful work of art.
