EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a married milkmaid from Oberhasli, Canton of Bern, Switzerland in the 19th century. Dressed in traditional attire, she exudes an air of grace and diligence as she goes about her daily tasks. Her outfit is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region. The milkmaid wears a velvet toque under a neatly braided hairdo, adding an elegant touch to her ensemble. A check bib adorns her chest while a chemise peeks out from beneath it. Layers of petticoats create volume and movement as she walks with purpose. In her hands, she carries pails filled with fresh milk and cream, showcasing her role as a vital contributor to the local dairy industry. The weight of these pails seems inconsequential compared to the pride that radiates from her face. This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Georges Jacques Gatine beautifully brings this historical moment to life. It was inspired by an illustration created by Louis Marie Lante for "Costumes of Various Countries" in Paris during 1827. Through this image, we are transported back in time and given a glimpse into the lives and traditions of Swiss milkmaids who played such an important role in their communities. Their dedication and hard work continue to be celebrated today as part of Switzerland's rich cultural tapestry.
