EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a collection of racial types from Strasbourg, France during the late 17th century. The vibrant print, dating from approximately 1670 to 1690, offers a fascinating glimpse into the regional folk dress of this era. The central figure of the composition is a bride, elegantly adorned in the traditional bridal attire of the time. Her skirt, made of rich fabric, features gathered yokes and a full, voluminous shape. The bodice of her dress is accentuated by pointed borders and an ornate stomacher, which adds an intricate layer of detail to her ensemble. The bride's headpiece is a large, impressive lace hat, which is a striking contrast to the close-fitting caps or toques worn by the other women in the print. Their costumes display a similar aesthetic, with full skirts and intricate bodices, each adorned with various embellishments such as lace, ribbons, and embroidery. These women represent the diverse racial types of Strasbourg during this time, showcasing the rich cultural heritage and unique regional traditions that thrived in France during the late 17th century. This print offers a valuable insight into the history of fashion and the diverse cultural landscape of France during this period. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the traditions and customs of the past, while also highlighting the beauty and intricacy of the clothing and accessories that defined this era.
