1. Title: "A Flower Seller of Hamburg, Germany, in the 19th Century" This image showcases a flower seller from Hamburg, Germany, during the 19th century. Dressed in traditional attire, she proudly displays an array of fresh blooms, including roses, lilies, and daisies, arranged in a beautiful bouquet. The seller's large straw hat, adorned with intricate ribbons and flowers, sits atop her head, shielding her from the sun. Beneath the hat, a small bonnet keeps her hair in place, while her long, braided pigtails cascade down her back, a clear sign that she remains unmarried. The intricately hand-colored copperplate engraving was created by Georges Jacques Gatine, based on an original illustration by Louis Marie Lante. The detailed artwork, taken from the Costumes of Various Countries (Costumes de Divers Pays) series published in Paris in 1827, offers a glimpse into the fashion and daily life of this era. The seller's traditional attire, with her voluminous skirt and apron, highlights the elegance and charm of the 19th century. The vibrant colors and fine details of the engraving bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to the bustling streets of Hamburg. The seller's warm smile and inviting demeanor invite us to purchase a bouquet, adding a touch of beauty and joy to our day. This image is a testament to the enduring charm of the past and the timeless appeal of nature's most exquisite creations.
