EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century print showcases the enchanting beauty of a young girl from St. John of Patmos, an Aegean island in Greece. Created by the talented artist Gerard Scotin, this coloured engraving is part of his renowned Collection of One Hundred Prints Representing the Different Nations of the Levant, published around 1707. In this full-length portrait, we witness a glimpse into the traditional dress and fashion worn by Greek women during that era. The girl's attire reflects both her cultural heritage and the influence of the Ottoman Empire on these Aegean islands. Her exquisite costume features intricate details such as delicate embroidery and vibrant colors that add to its allure. The headdress adorning her head adds an extra layer of elegance to her ensemble, showcasing her pride in her ancestry and local traditions. This illustration serves as a historical document capturing not only fashion but also providing insight into people's lives and society at that time. Through this artwork, we are transported back to a bygone era where customs were cherished and celebrated. It reminds us of the rich cultural tapestry woven throughout history on these Greek islands like Patmos - places steeped in tradition yet open to embracing influences from neighboring lands. This print is part of the Historica Graphica Collection, preserving precious glimpses into our past for generations to come.
