EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled "Familia dei Taalialeana nell Austria" (The Taalialeana Family in Austria), dates back to 1822 and was taken from Alexandre de Labordes' "Voyage pittoresque en Autriche" (Picturesque Journey through Austria). The image, created by Migliavacca for Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," provides a glimpse into the daily life of woodcutters in Austria during that era. The scene depicts a woodcutter family in their rustic setting. The man, dressed in traditional attire, stands tall and strong, holding an axe over his shoulder. His wife, with a gentle expression, sits near a well and tenderly nurses her child. The serene atmosphere is further enhanced by the presence of a quaint aqueduct in the background, with a waterfall cascading down from it. The woodcutters' village, located in the picturesque region of Gosauzwang, is believed to be in the vicinity of Goisern, Upper Austria. The family's livelihood revolves around the abundant natural resources of the area, including the brine from Hallstadt, salt mines, and the boiling houses of Ischl and Ebensee. This historical illustration offers a fascinating insight into the traditional costumes and daily life of the Austrian people during the early 19th century, providing a captivating window into the past. The intricate details of the woodcutters' clothing, the well-worn tools, and the idyllic setting all contribute to the timeless beauty of this image.
