EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored illustration, titled "German Servant Girl," is an exquisite example of the intricate details and rich history captured in Georges Duplessis' "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries), published in Paris in 1867. The illustration, created by E. Lechevallier-Chevignard and lithographed by A.J. Lallemand, offers a glimpse into the daily life of a German servant girl during the 16th century. The servant girl is depicted carrying two large jugs of beer balanced gracefully on her head, while a barrel of pork rests on her back. Her attire consists of a simple yet practical dress made of wool, adorned with a white apron. Her head is covered by a linen cap, and she wears a pair of sturdy leather shoes. The illustration captures the essence of the era, with its attention to detail and authenticity. The scene takes place at the market, where the servant girl is likely making deliveries or exchanging goods for supplies. The bustling marketplace, filled with vendors and shoppers, creates a lively atmosphere that underscores the importance of community and commerce during this time period. This illustration is a valuable resource for those interested in fashion history, offering insights into the clothing and daily life of common people during the 16th century in Germany. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the image to life, making it a beautiful addition to any historical collection or display.
