EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back to the 19th century in the picturesque region of Pessac, Bordeaux, France. The Milkmaid, elegantly dressed in traditional attire, stands before a rustic backdrop, exuding the charm and simplicity of rural life. She skillfully holds two large milk pails in each hand, their weight balanced with an effortless grace. In her left hand, she cradles a cup, ready to taste the fresh milk she has collected. The Milkmaid's outfit is a beautiful blend of practicality and style. She wears a check bandanna around her neck, a fichu covering her chest, and a full apron and petticoat to protect her clothes from the milk. Her ensemble is completed with a simple yet intricately designed headpiece, adding a touch of elegance to her humble appearance. This 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 Milkmaid's attire, as well as the authenticity of the setting, make this print a fascinating glimpse into the past. The Milkmaid of Pessac, Bordeaux, France, stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage and the simple pleasures of rural life during the 19th century.
