EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite costume of a servant from Carentan, beautifully captured by Georges Jacques Gatine. The coloured engraving, created by Louis-Marie Lante, transports us to a bygone era where attention to detail and elegance were paramount. The servant's attire is meticulously depicted, highlighting every intricate element of their outfit. A headscarf adorns their head with grace and modesty, while the dress drapes gracefully around their figure. The choice of clothing reflects the societal norms and fashion trends prevalent during that time. In this image, we witness the servant engaged in spinning wool – a domestic task that was often assigned to individuals in service roles. Their clogs provide practicality as they navigate through daily chores with ease. Printed within these fine lines is not just an illustration but also a glimpse into history; it allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship involved in creating such elaborate costumes for everyday wear. This artwork serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Carentan, a small town nestled in picturesque Normandy. As we admire this enchanting print from Bridgeman Images' collection at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, let us be transported back in time and marvel at how even humble servants were adorned with beauty and style centuries ago.
