EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the essence of rural life in Baden, Switzerland during the 19th century. The peasant woman, dressed in traditional attire, exudes a sense of strength and resilience as she goes about her daily tasks. Her straw hat, adorned with vibrant silk pompons, adds a pop of color to her outfit, while her toque is elegantly tied with bows. The fichu, a triangular piece of fabric draped around her neck, and her petticoat and apron complete her ensemble. This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Georges Jacques Gatine after an illustration by Louis Marie Lante, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Switzerland during this time period. The intricate details of the woman's clothing and accessories, as well as the scenic backdrop of the rolling hills and quaint village, transport us back in time. Costumes de Divers Pays, or "Costumes of Various Countries," was a popular series of publications during the 19th century, showcasing traditional clothing from around the world. This particular image of the peasant woman from Baden, near Basel, Switzerland, is a testament to the beauty and diversity of rural life during this era. The meticulous craftsmanship of the engraving process, combined with the authenticity of the illustration, make this a valuable historical document and an exquisite work of art.
