EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1867, titled "Governess and girl of Silesia, 16th century" transports us back to a bygone era. The image showcases the distinctive fashion of northern Germany during the 16th century, specifically in Silesia. The woman is elegantly dressed in a fur hat and cape, complemented by a striped skirt that exudes sophistication. Meanwhile, the young girl stands beside her in a delightful pink dress, clutching a Nuremberg doll. The attention to detail is remarkable as every aspect of their attire has been meticulously handcolored by artist Edmond Lechevallier-Chevignard. This engraving was inspired by Cesare Vecellio's woodcut and featured in Georges Duplessiss' book "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries), published in Paris. Edmond Lechevallier-Chevignard was not only an accomplished artist but also an illustrator and interior designer. His skillful rendering brings this historical scene to life with vibrant colors that evoke the rich tapestry of German culture during this period. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of how fashion can serve as a window into history. It allows us to appreciate the intricate details that defined different eras while capturing moments frozen in time for future generations to admire.
