EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled 'Costumes de Différents Pays, Laitiere des Environs de Berne' by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, dates back to the late 18th century, around 1797. The image depicts a milkmaid from the environs of Bern, Switzerland, immersed in her rural environment. The milkmaid is shown in a full-length portrait, dressed in traditional attire that reflects the region's unique character. She wears a simple yet elegant bodice, adorned with delicate floral patterns, and a full apron that protects her clothing from the messy business of milking cows. In her hand, she holds a butter churn, a common implement used to separate milk from butter. The engraving, hand-tinted in vibrant colors, showcases the milkmaid leaning on an elbow, gazing off into the distance, perhaps lost in thought or enjoying the tranquility of her surroundings. The exterior setting is filled with lush greenery, flowers, and plants, adding to the idyllic scene. The milkmaid's hat, adorned with a ribbon and flowers, completes her traditional costume. This engraving is an excellent example of ethnographic and anthropological documentation of European clothing and occupations during the 18th century. It offers a glimpse into the daily life of rural communities and the importance of traditional attire in defining cultural identity. The image is a valuable addition to any collection focused on historic fashion, art, and European heritage. This beautiful and intricately detailed engraving is part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcasing the rich history and diversity of European costume and culture.
