EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to 19th century Arles, France, where we catch a glimpse of a woman adorned in traditional attire. Her headdress, inspired by Greek fashion, is an exquisite blend of elegance and cultural heritage. A large ribbon tied in a bow at the front adds a touch of femininity to her ensemble, while a cap positioned behind provides balance and structure. One cannot help but be drawn to the Maltese cross proudly displayed on her bosom. Known as the Cross of Saint Martha, it serves as both an emblem of faith and a symbol of her identity within the community. This intricate detail further highlights the rich history and traditions that permeate through every aspect of this woman's life. The handcoloured copperplate engraving perfectly captures the essence of this moment in time. Created by Georges Jacques Gatine after an illustration by Horace Vernet for Louis Marie Lantes' "Costumes de Divers Pays" in Paris, 1827, it showcases not only the beauty but also the artistry involved in preserving cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Fine Art Finder's collection curated by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded that fashion is more than just clothing; it is an expression of one's roots and values. Through this photograph, we are transported into another era and given a glimpse into the vibrant tapestry that makes up our shared human history.
