EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the essence of childhood innocence in the Canton of Schaffhausen, Switzerland during the 19th century. The young girl, dressed in traditional attire, wears a small toque adorned with a bow and her long, plaited hair is artfully arranged with ribbons. Her outfit consists of a simple apron, petticoat, and a laced bib, which is fastened to a bodice. The intricate detailing of her clothing is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the time. The engraving is based on an illustration by Louis Marie Lante from the publication 'Costumes of Various Countries' (Costumes de Divers Pays), published in Paris in 1827. The work of Georges Jacques Gatine, a renowned engraver, brings the illustration to life with his masterful use of line and shade. The result is a captivating image that transports us back in time to a simpler era. The young girl's unassuming demeanor and the serene setting of her rural surroundings evoke a sense of tranquility and harmony. Her expression, filled with curiosity and wonder, invites us to explore the world around her. This enchanting image is a precious reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Switzerland and the beauty of its people in the 19th century.
