EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Glimpse into Finnish Tradition: Finns in their National Costume, 18th Century" This image presents a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Finland, showcasing Finns in their traditional costumes as depicted in Andrew Swinton's "Travels into Norway, Denmark and Russia," published in 1792. The illustration, a beautiful copperplate engraving by Dell Acqua, was hand-colored by Lazaretti for Giovanni Battista Sonzogno's "Collection of the Most Interesting Voyages (Raccolta de Viaggi Piu Interessanti)" in Milan between 1815 and 1817. The Finns in this illustration are dressed in their traditional attire, which reflects the country's unique history and climate. The men wear long, woolen coats, called "paita," with wide, fur-trimmed collars and cuffs. Their hats, known as "kansallispiilakka," feature a distinctive, tall design with a conical crown and a broad, flat brim. The women's costumes consist of long, full skirts, often made of linen or wool, and embroidered with intricate patterns. They also wear intricately designed headscarves, called "pikku-pallos," which are wrapped around their heads and secured with a brooch. This image offers a captivating window into the past, providing us with a glimpse into the lives and traditions of the Finnish people during the 18th century. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse cultural heritage that exists around the world.
