EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving captures the essence of a 19th-century chambermaid from Hamburg, Germany. The maid is depicted carrying a small corbeille, or wicker basket, on her left arm, expertly balanced as she walks with a graceful gait. Dressed in the traditional attire of the time, she wears a white apron that covers her skirt and a check shawl draped over her shoulders, adding a pop of color to her outfit. The intricate details of the engraving show the care and attention given to the representation of this humble servant. The folds of her apron and shawl are meticulously rendered, and the texture of the wicker basket is faithfully replicated. The background is simple, with a plain wall and a window, drawing the focus to the chambermaid and her task. This image is taken from "Costumes of Various Countries," a comprehensive work by Louis Marie Lante and Georges Jacques Gatine published in Paris in 1827. The work aimed to document the traditional costumes of different regions and countries, providing a valuable record of historical fashion and cultural traditions. The chambermaid of Hamburg presented here is a testament to the importance of domestic service in 19th-century society and the attention given to documenting even the most mundane aspects of daily life. The engraving also serves as a reminder of the elegance and refinement that could be found in the most ordinary tasks, making it a beautiful and intriguing addition to any collection of historical images.
