EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving by Verico, from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" published in Florence in 1837, captures the Entlebuch family in their traditional costumes for a confirmation ceremony in the 18th century, Fribourg, Switzerland. The Entlebuch region, located in the western part of the canton of Fribourg, was known for its unique cultural traditions, including its distinctive clothing. The Entlebuch family members are dressed in the gothic style, which was common in Europe during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The bride, elegantly adorned in her nuptial outfit, wears a long, flowing gown with a high-necked bodice, a wide ruff collar, and a headdress adorned with flowers and an Agnus Dei symbol. Her cap, known as an "abito nunziale de Friburghesi," is a traditional bridal headdress from Fribourg, featuring a white veil and a red velvet bow. The groom, wearing a simple tunic and a ruff collar, holds a walking stick and wears a cap with a red tassel. The confirmation candidates, dressed in long robes and white caps, stand in the background, symbolizing their transition into adulthood and their commitment to their faith. This beautiful illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the historical fashion and cultural traditions of the Entlebuch region during the 18th century. The intricate details of the clothing, the use of symbolic elements, and the overall composition make this a captivating and valuable visual record of the past.
