EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a young girl from the picturesque village of Bugard, nestled in the heart of the French Pyrenees, during the 19th century. The girl is dressed in traditional attire that reflects the rich cultural heritage of the region. She wears a Pyrenean capulet, a hood adorned with intricate embroidery, which is worn over a white cornette, a high-necked linen collar. Her wool skirt, with its full pleats and voluminous hem, is paired with a cotton fichu, a long, thin scarf, and an apron, all in muted earth tones. Carrying a beautiful earthenware vase from the region, the girl embodies the rustic charm and simplicity of rural life in the Pyrenees. The vase, with its delicate floral designs, adds a touch of elegance to the scene. This exquisite image is a handcoloured copperplate engraving by Georges Jacques Gatine, based on an illustration by Louis Marie Lante from the publication 'Costumes of Various Countries' published in Paris in 1827. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving highlights the intricacies of the girl's traditional costume and the beauty of the Pyrenean landscape. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when life was simpler, and traditions ran deep.
