This vibrant and intricately detailed illustration showcases traditional Swedish costumes as they were worn in the Bergslagen region during the 19th century. The image, dated 1827, captures the essence of Swedish folk tradition through its depiction of the distinctive clothing worn by both men and women during this time. The male figure in the illustration is dressed in a long, knee-length tunic, known as a "kjol," which is belted at the waist and features a high neckline and long sleeves. The tunic is adorned with intricate embroidery, showcasing the skill and artistry of Swedish textile design. Over the tunic, the man wears a heavy, woolen cloak, or "mantel," which is fastened at the front with large, decorative buttons. The man's head is covered by a knitted hat, or "mössa," which is a common accessory in traditional Swedish clothing. The female figure in the illustration wears a long, floor-length dress, or "kjol," which is fitted at the waist and flares out at the hips. The dress is adorned with intricate embroidery and lace, reflecting the importance of textile arts in Swedish culture. Over the dress, she wears a long, heavy apron, or "överrock," which is also adorned with intricate embroidery and lace. The woman's head is covered by a traditional Swedish headdress, or "hattmössa," which is made of wool and features a distinctive, pointed shape. This illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the traditional clothing of Sweden during the 19th century, offering a window into the rich cultural heritage of this beautiful and historic country.
