EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving depicts a Christian woman from the North, now known as Finland, in the 16th century. The image showcases her unique attire and traditional way of life during that era. Carrying her children in a basket on her back, she wears an unusual hat and an animal-skin dress, reflecting the cultural practices of her time. The woman's long wooden shoes resemble skis, highlighting the practicality required to navigate through the snowy landscapes of Scandinavia. This engraving offers a glimpse into the historical fashion and lifestyle of this region during the 16th century. Within a decorative frame engraved by H. Catenacci and Fellmann, this woodblock engraving was created by Gerard Seguin and E. F. Huyot after a woodcut by Christoph Krieger for Cesare Vecellio's renowned publication "Costumes anciens et modernes". Published between 1859-1860 in Paris by Firman Didot Ferris Fils, this work aimed to document ancient and contemporary costumes from around the world. The black-and-white aesthetic adds depth to this historical portrayal while emphasizing its timeless quality. This print not only provides insight into Finnish history but also celebrates motherhood, family values, tradition, and religious beliefs prevalent during that period. Overall, this enchanting artwork captures both artistic beauty and cultural significance—a testament to how art can transport us across time and immerse us in different eras of human history.
