EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a young married woman from the Canton of Uri, Switzerland, during the 19th century. Dressed in traditional attire, she dons a straw hat adorned with vibrant ribbons, a fichu worn as a scarf around her neck, and an intricately laced bodice. Her outfit is completed with an apron and full petticoats, which were common elements of Swiss rural fashion during this era. The woman's plaited hair, neatly tied up with ribbons, further signifies her marital status. This beautiful handcoloured copperplate engraving was created by Georges Jacques Gatine, based on an original illustration by Louis Marie Lante for the publication "Costumes of Various Countries," published in Paris in 1827. The meticulous detail and rich colours of the engraving provide a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of rural Switzerland during the 19th century. The image offers a unique insight into the history and cultural traditions of the Canton of Uri, a region known for its picturesque landscapes and strong sense of community.
