EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a traditional milkmaid from Bern, Switzerland, as depicted in an intricately detailed hand-colored copperplate engraving from the 19th century. The milkmaid, dressed in the regional attire, dons a toquet, a lace hat made from horsehair dentelle de crin, which was a popular accessory for rural women in Switzerland during this era. The lace, meticulously crafted, cascades down the milkmaid's back, adding a touch of elegance to her simple yet practical outfit. Carrying a wooden pail with a lid, the milkmaid is ready to collect fresh milk from the cows grazing in the pastures. Her apron, adorned with intricate floral designs, complements her hat and adds a pop of color to her ensemble. This engraving, created by Georges Jacques Gatine after an illustration by Louis Marie Lante, is an exquisite representation of the traditional costumes of Bern, Switzerland, as documented in the publication 'Costumes de Divers Pays' (Costumes of Various Countries) in 1827. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving, from the delicate lace to the textures of the milkmaid's clothing, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of rural Switzerland during the 19th century.
