EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Migliavacca for Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" published in Florence in 1837, offers a captivating glimpse into the traditional costumes of the peasants of Zurich, Switzerland during the 18th century. The image features a group of peasants, both men and women, dressed in their distinctive attire. The women wear long, full skirts with intricate floral patterns, often adorned with aprons and bonnets adorned with ribbons and flowers. Some women also wear butterfly wing caps, adding an air of elegance and mystery to their outfits. The men, on the other hand, wear short breeches, waistcoats, and long-sleeved shirts, often paired with vests and berets. Tobacco pipes are a common accessory, adding a touch of rustic charm to their appearance. The costumes of the peasants of Zurich were deeply rooted in the local culture and traditions, reflecting the rural lifestyle of the region. The intricate patterns and designs on the clothing were often passed down through generations, making these costumes an important part of the region's historical and cultural heritage. This engraving provides a fascinating window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and richness of the traditional costumes of Zurich's peasants during the 18th century. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the unique cultural traditions of different communities around the world.
