EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a woman from Madrid, Spain, dressed in the traditional attire of the 19th century. The woman wears a black mantilla veil, which is a characteristic element of Spanish women's fashion during this era. The mantilla is a large, lace veil that covers the head and chest, leaving only the face visible. Underneath the mantilla, she dons a basquina dress, which is a long, flowing garment made of wool or silk, often adorned with intricate embroidery. The dress is worn over a white petticoat, adding volume and elegance to the outfit. The woman holds a fan in her hand, a common accessory used to keep cool during the hot Spanish summers. The fan is intricately designed, with intricate patterns and delicate materials, adding to the overall beauty of the image. This handcoloured copperplate engraving is a beautiful representation of Spanish traditional dress, created by the skilled hands of Georges Jacques Gatine, after an illustration by Louis Marie Lante. The image is taken from the Costumes of Various Countries, Costumes de Divers Pays, published in Paris in 1827. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving highlights the intricacies of the woman's attire, transporting us back in time to the 19th century in Madrid, Spain.
