EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Paysanne des Environs de Berne'" by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, dates back to the late 18th century, around 1797. The image showcases an agricultural laborer, or paysanne, from the environs, or surroundings, of Bern, Switzerland. The intricately detailed engraving, hand-tinted with vibrant colors, offers a fascinating glimpse into the clothing and customs of rural Europe during this period. The paysanne is depicted in a full-length portrait, dressed in traditional attire. She wears a simple, blue, long-sleeved blouse, adorned with delicate braids and braid trim. A full, apron, also in blue, covers her skirt and protects her clothing from the demands of her labor. Her long, loose hair cascades down her back, a common style for women during this era. The paysanne is also shown wearing a distinctive, conical hat, which was a common headpiece for rural women in Europe. Her hands are shown at her side, revealing the callouses and strength of her labor. The background of the print is left blank, drawing the focus to the subject and her attire. This engraving, now held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is an invaluable resource for anthropologists, ethnologists, and historians studying the clothing and customs of European agricultural laborers during the 18th century. It offers a window into the past, providing insights into the daily lives and appearances of those who worked the land, and the traditions that shaped their communities.
