EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Giarre and Stanghi, taken from Giulio Ferrario's Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World, published in Florence in 1847, offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life and fashion of the Dutch people during the 18th century. The image showcases a lively scene on a frozen river, where men in wide, high-waisted breeches and women with flattened hairstyles engage in various winter activities. Some men are seen skillfully skating on the ice, while others are riding boats and carriages with sails, braving the chilly conditions. A sled is also visible in the background, suggesting that transportation was not limited to the water. The women, dressed in voluminous gowns and intricate headpieces, are depicted watching the men or socializing with one another. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving, from the textures of the fabric to the expressions on the faces of the figures, makes it an invaluable historical record of Dutch costume and culture during this period. This illustration invites us to explore the rich history and traditions of the Netherlands during the 18th century.
