EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Bride and Groom of the Canton of Schaffhausen, Switzerland (18th Century): A Historical Snapshot of Love and Tradition" This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the essence of love and tradition in the Canton of Schaffhausen, Switzerland during the 18th century. The image, titled "Sposi del Cantone di Sciaffusa" or "The Bride and Groom of the Canton of Schaffhausen," is an intricate work of art by Migliavacca, as featured in Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" published in Florence in 1837. The couple, elegantly dressed in the fashion of the time, are depicted standing before a grand, ornate brass grave effigy. The bride, adorned in a voluminous white gown with a lace veil, holds a bouquet of flowers, while the groom, wearing a dark suit and a top hat, offers her his hand. The setting is the beautiful Langhans Church in Hindelbank, a charming village located near Bern. The brass grave effigy, a common monument in the region, is a testament to the couple's eternal love and commitment. The sculptor, Johann August Nahl, skillfully crafted the intricate details of the effigy, which is a traditional sepolcrale or sepulchral monument. This historical illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the people of Schaffhausen during the 18th century, showcasing their unique fashion, traditions, and architectural styles. The image also highlights the importance of the church in the community, as the Langhans Church stands proudly in the background. The handcoloured copperplate engraving by Migliavacca is a beautiful work of art that transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the rich history and traditions of the Canton of Schaffhausen, Switzerland.
