EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled 'Man and woman of Prussian Silesia,' dates back to 1818 and is an exquisite illustration from Mary Anne Venning's educational book, 'A Geographical Present: Being Descriptions of the Principal Countries of the World.' The image portrays a charming scene of a man in the traditional attire of Prussian Silesia, courting a milkmaid. The man, dressed in the uniform of a Hungarian hussar with a pelisse coat and a fur hat, gazes intently at the milkmaid, who is adorned in a traditional costume consisting of a white blouse, a long skirt, and a headscarf or veil. The backdrop of the image is the picturesque landscape of Prussian Silesia, with rolling hills and lush greenery. Mary Anne Venning was a prolific writer and tutor of the early 19th century, known for her educational books on geography, conchology, and mineralogy. 'A Geographical Present' was a popular and influential work that provided a detailed and accurate description of various countries around the world. The book was aimed at educating young readers about different cultures and peoples, and this image of the man and milkmaid from Prussian Silesia is a testament to Venning's commitment to providing an authentic and engaging learning experience. The intricate details of the costumes, the setting, and the expressions of the figures in this engraving are a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the 19th century, and the enduring appeal of traditional European folkways. The image is a beautiful representation of the human connection to the land and the customs of the past, making it a valuable historical artifact and an intriguing glimpse into the Regency and Georgian eras.
