EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving captures the image of a young girl from the environs of Bamberg, Franconia, Germany, in the 19th century. Dressed in her Sunday best, she is making her way to church, carrying a prayer book in her hands. Her throat is covered by a scarf, and her hair is concealed under a folded fichu, a traditional head covering common in the region during that era. The girl's attire is adorned with pleats and petticoats, and she wears red stockings that peek out from under her skirt. The engraving is an exquisite reproduction of an original illustration by Louis Marie Lante, as depicted in his Costumes of Various Countries publication in Paris in 1827. The intricate details of the young girl's clothing and accessories are brought to life through the skillful hand of Georges Jacques Gatine, who masterfully executed this engraving. This image offers a glimpse into the fashion and religious traditions of the past, providing a window into the daily life of a young girl in Franconia during the 19th century.
