EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts a group of Peasants women from the environs of Baden, Germany, in the year 1818. The women, dressed in traditional costumes, are shown gathered around a table laden with various wares, including textiles, pottery, and baskets. One woman holds a round shield, while another cradles a child in her arms. The scene takes place in an idyllic garden setting, with flowers and trees in the background. Mary Anne Venning, a prolific educational writer of the early 19th century, created this image for her book "A Geographical Present: Being Descriptions of the Principal Countries of the World." Venning's work was published by Darton, Harvey and Darton in London and was intended to teach geography to young readers. The presence of the Peasants women in this engraving reflects the importance of rural commerce during the Regency and Georgian periods. The women's vibrant attire and the array of goods on display suggest that they were engaged in selling their wares in local markets or to travelers passing through the region. This image also provides a glimpse into the daily life of the people in the environs of Baden, Germany, during this time. The women's strong and confident postures convey a sense of pride and self-sufficiency, making this an intriguing and evocative representation of a bygone era.
