Swiss Hostess, Canton of Glacis (19th century) This 19th-century photograph depicts a traditional Swiss hostess from the Canton of Glacis, dressed in the elegant and distinctive attire of her region. The woman wears a voluminous white skirt, adorned with intricate embroidery and pleats, which sweeps the floor as she gracefully poses. The full skirt is complemented by a high-waisted, fitted blouse, featuring puff sleeves that add a playful touch to the outfit. The low neckline of the blouse reveals a hint of the collarbone, adding an allure to her appearance. The hostess's hair is styled in an elegant chignon, with a few loose curls framing her face. Her expression is warm and inviting, exuding the welcoming spirit that is synonymous with Swiss hospitality. The Canton of Glacis, located in the western part of Switzerland, was renowned for its textile industry, and the intricate embroidery on the hostess's skirt is a testament to the region's rich craftsmanship. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the rich cultural heritage and traditions of Switzerland during the 19th century.
