EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th century print captures the essence of traditional Spanish fashion as depicted in the illustration by Louis Marie Lante and beautifully rendered as a hand-colored copperplate engraving by Georges Jacques Gatine. The woman in the image hails from Seville, Spain, and her attire reflects the rich cultural heritage of the region. She wears her long, dark hair in ringlets, adorned with a ribbon tied in a bow at the nape of her neck. Her hat, with its wide brim and intricate design, sits atop her head, adding an air of elegance and sophistication. The woman's petticoat, with its full, voluminous fringe, is a testament to the importance of layering and texture in Spanish fashion of the time. The shawl draped over her shoulders adds a final touch of warmth and allure, completing the look. The intricate details of the print, from the delicate folds of the fabric to the intricate patterns on the woman's hat, are a testament to the skill and artistry of the engraver. This print is taken from the publication "Costumes of Various Countries" by Lante and Gatine, published in Paris in 1827. The series aimed to showcase the diverse and unique fashion traditions of different parts of the world, making this print a valuable historical record of Spanish fashion in the 19th century.
