EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century image showcases a servant woman from Fribourg, Switzerland, elegantly adorned in traditional attire. The woman wears a large, ornate straw hat, embellished with an extravagant array of feathers and ribbons, which adds a touch of sophistication to her humble appearance. Her apron and petticoat, both in simple yet tasteful designs, complete her ensemble. The intricately hand-coloured copperplate engraving was created by Georges Jacques Gatine, based on an original illustration by Louis Marie Lante for the publication "Costumes of Various Countries" in 1827. This exquisite work of art offers a glimpse into the fashion trends and cultural traditions of the time, providing a valuable historical record. The servant woman's hat, a striking feature of the image, reflects the importance of headwear in 19th century European fashion. Hats were not only functional, but also a means of self-expression and social status. The elaborate decoration on this servant woman's hat suggests that even those in domestic service could take pride in their appearance and contribute to the overall aesthetic of their community. This image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Fribourg and Switzerland during the 19th century. It invites us to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of traditional costumes, as well as the artistry of the engraving process. The servant woman's image stands as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse fashion histories of various regions and communities.
