EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the essence of a young woman from Frick, Switzerland, during the 19th century. Dressed in traditional attire, she is depicted carrying a basket on her arm, adorned with an intricately designed apron, and wearing a wide-brimmed hat adorned with ribbons and flowers. The deep green, blue, daffodil, and black hues of her costume are brought to life through the meticulous hand-colouring technique, adding a vibrant and lively touch to the image. The young woman's petticoats are gathered at the waist, revealing a fitted bodice with decorative lace and ribbon detailing. Her stockings are held up by garters, and her feet are clad in simple, yet elegant, black shoes. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance, reflecting the rural charm and natural beauty of the Swiss countryside. This beautiful image is a reproduction of an original illustration by Louis Marie Lante, published in the French book "Costumes of Various Countries" in 1827. The engraving was created by Georges Jacques Gatine, who expertly captured the intricacies and details of the young woman's costume, making it a true work of art. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life was simpler, and the beauty of nature was celebrated through traditional dress. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that exists within the small towns and villages of Switzerland, and a testament to the enduring allure of the past.
