EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hand-colored copperplate engraving, a bailiff from Wolfenschiessen, Switzerland, is depicted on horseback, tenderly caressing the cheek of a woman. The image, taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1837, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to the heart of the Swiss Alps during the 1800s. The bailiff, dressed in the traditional attire of the region, wears a tall, conical Albrecht Gessler hat, a symbol of authority in Swiss folklore. His coat is adorned with the cross of St. George, signifying his role as a law enforcer. In his right hand, he holds a pole with a pikeman's badge, while his left hand gently touches the face of the woman, who is dressed in traditional Swiss peasant clothing. Surrounding the scene, we see a group of soldiers, both Swiss pikemen and Austrian soldiers, standing at attention. Among them, a heroic figure, identified as William Tell, is shown with a crossbow at the ready. This iconic image is a reference to the Swiss legend and folktale about Tell, who famously defied the tyrannical Austrian governor, Albrecht Gessler, by shooting an apple off his son's head. The intricate details of the engraving, produced by Migliavacca, highlight the rich historical and cultural significance of this moment in Swiss history. The image serves as a testament to the enduring power of folktales and myths, which continue to shape our understanding of the past and the people who lived in it.
