EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century image captures the essence of youth and tradition in the Canton of Schwyz, Switzerland. The young girl, dressed in the regional attire, exudes a sense of innocence and charm. She dons a hat adorned with ribbons, which complements her plaited hair, also tied with long ribbons. Her laced bodice, chemise, and embroidered bib add intricate details to her outfit. A striped apron and petticoat complete her traditional ensemble. The engraving, created by Georges Jacques Gatine after an illustration by Louis Marie Lante, offers a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the time. The handcoloured copperplate technique adds a touch of authenticity and vibrancy to the image. This print serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of the Canton of Schwyz and the young girls who once wore such attire. The girl's single status is suggested by her lack of a wedding ring or other indicators of marriage. In the 19th century, spinsters, or unmarried women, often wore traditional clothing as a sign of their status and commitment to their community. This image offers a window into the past, providing a glimpse into the lives of young women in the Canton of Schwyz during this time period.
