EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the essence of 19th century women's fashion in Schweinfurt, Bavaria, Germany. The subject wears an elegant ensemble that reflects the region's rich cultural heritage. At the heart of her outfit is a tall hat, trimmed with intricate lace and adorned with ribbons, which adds a touch of sophistication to her appearance. The hat is paired with a white fichu, a fabric triangle that is tucked into a low-cut bodice and skirt, both in the same fabric. The woman's attire is further accentuated by a two-tone apron, which adds a pop of color to the monochromatic look. She also wears a rosary around her neck, a symbol of her faith, and carries a book in her hands, suggesting her love for learning. A bouquet of flowers completes her outfit, adding a natural and feminine touch. This beautiful image is a handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Georges Jacques Gatine after an illustration by Louis Marie Lante. It is taken from the publication "Costumes of Various Countries," published in Paris in 1827. The meticulous detail and attention to the subject's clothing and accessories provide a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of women in Schweinfurt during the 19th century.
