EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting hand-colored copperplate engraving captures the essence of a traditional peasant wedding in a quaint Austrian village in the year 1822. The image, taken from Alexandre de Labordes' "Voyage pittoresque en Autriche" (Picturesque Journey through Austria), was created by Migliavacca for Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World." The scene unfolds as a joyous procession makes its way from the local church, led by musicians playing the violin and pipes. The bride and groom, dressed in their finest peasant attire, are surrounded by their family and friends, all clad in traditional garb. The women wear flowing, colorful dresses adorned with intricate embroidery, while the men don simple tunics and breeches. As the procession moves through the fields, the villagers gather to celebrate the union. The air is filled with the sound of laughter, music, and the clinking of glasses as everyone joins in the festivities. The bride and groom exchange playful glances as they dance, their happiness evident in every smile and gesture. This beautiful illustration offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a simpler time when community and tradition played a central role in the lives of rural Austrian villagers. The scene is a testament to the enduring power of love, music, and the shared joy of a community coming together to celebrate the union of two people.
