EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 18th century showcases an Austrian waitress at an inn in Innsbruck, Tyrol. The skilled hand of William Alexander brings to life the vibrant colors and intricate details of this traditional costume. The young woman is adorned in a rose-colored kerchief, a white bodice, and a green petticoat, exuding elegance and grace. Her blue apron adds a touch of practicality to her attire while her hair is beautifully tied with ribbons. This portrayal captures the essence of a servant maid working diligently in an inn during this era. The engraving is part of Jean-Baptiste Eyries' renowned work "L'Autriche: Costumes, Moeurs et Usages des Autrichiens" which explores the customs and traditions of Austria. Eyries was not only a geographer but also an author and translator who sought to document various aspects of European society. This print offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage that existed in Austria during the 18th century. It serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression, showcasing the beauty found within everyday life. Bridgeman Images has preserved this exquisite piece for future generations to appreciate its historical significance and aesthetic appeal. As we admire this engraving today, we are transported back in time to witness the charm and allure of an Austrian waitress serving guests at an inn in Innsbruck centuries ago.
