EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 19th century print captures the essence of rural life in the environs of Wurtzburg, Franconia, Germany. The young peasant girl, dressed in traditional attire, embodies the simplicity and elegance of the region's folk culture. The girl's head is adorned with a simple yet elegant headband, which covers the brim of her bonnet. Her fichu, a type of scarf, is bunched up around her throat, adding a touch of sophistication to her outfit. The bodice of her blouse is adorned with intricate patterns, while a toweling apron covers her petticoats, which are visible beneath the apron, showing off the elegant pleats. The print, a handcoloured copperplate engraving by Georges Jacques Gatine after an illustration by Louis Marie Lante, captures the details of the girl's attire with remarkable precision. The towel she holds in her hand and the book in her lap suggest that she has just completed her household chores and is taking a moment to relax and learn. The print, titled "Costumes de Divers Pays" or "Costumes of Various Countries," was published in Paris in 1827. It offers a glimpse into the rich and diverse cultural heritage of Europe during the 19th century, and this image of the peasant girl from Wurtzburg is a testament to the beauty and simplicity of rural life in Franconia, Germany.
