EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of traditional Alsatian life in the 1910s. The Folk in this image, hailing from the Alsace-Lorraine region straddling modern-day France and Germany, are dressed in their elaborate and intricately designed costumes. The man, a farmer, wears a high-waisted, pleated trouser suit, a long-sleeved shirt, and a vest, all adorned with intricate braidwork and embroidery. His wife, dressed in a voluminous, floral print dress with a high collar and elaborate bow, holds their young daughter. The child, dressed in a similar but more simplified version of her mother's attire, plays with a rake and a small basket filled with flowers. The couple's traditional garb reflects the rich cultural heritage of Alsace-Lorraine, which has been influenced by both French and German traditions. The region has a long history of farming, and the man is shown holding both a scythe and a pipe, symbolizing the hard work and relaxation that come with rural life. The intricate bonnets and bows worn by the women were once a sign of wealth and status, as the elaborate headpieces required significant time and resources to create. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life was simpler, and traditions were deeply rooted in community and history. The intricate details of the Folk's attire, the tools they hold, and the flowers in their daughter's basket all serve as reminders of the region's rich cultural heritage and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
