EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled "Greek and Italian Female Costume, 18th Century," showcases a vibrant and intriguing collection of traditional attire from Greece and Italy. The image features three women, each wearing distinctive garments representative of their respective regions. In the foreground, a woman dons a walking dress typical of the Italian city of Sassari, located in the region of Argentiera. Her outfit includes a voluminous skirt, adorned with intricate floral patterns, and a fitted bodice, embellished with lace and ribbons. She carries a spinning wheel, suggesting her involvement in the textile industry, which was a significant aspect of Italian rural life during this period. To the right, two women hail from the Greek islands of Paros, Chios, and Ios. The woman from Paros wears a simple yet elegant dress, featuring a fitted bodice and a full, pleated skirt. Her head is adorned with a traditional headdress, which is both functional and decorative. The woman from Chios, on the other hand, wears a more elaborate costume. Her dress is adorned with intricate gold embroidery and fringes, while her headdress is adorned with pearls and gold coins. The woman from Ios is depicted spinning wool, much like her Italian counterpart. This engraving, created by Sasso for Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1847, offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich and diverse cultural heritage of Europe during the 18th century. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of handcolouring add to the allure of these beautiful and intriguing costumes.
