EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Young Girl of the Canton of Zug, Switzerland, in the 19th Century 2. Description: This hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases a young girl from the Canton of Zug, Switzerland, during the 19th century. The girl is depicted wearing traditional attire, which includes a straw hat adorned with regular loops of ribbon, a floral lace apron bib, and a striped apron. Her ruff, which is not visible in the image, would have completed her outfit. She carries a woven basket on her arm, adding to the rustic charm of the scene. 3. Background: The Canton of Zug, located in central Switzerland, has a rich cultural heritage, and its traditional costumes reflect the region's history and rural lifestyle. This image, created by Georges Jacques Gatine after an illustration by Louis Marie Lante, is a testament to the fashion and customs of the time. The engraving was originally published in the book "Costumes de Divers Pays" or "Costumes of Various Countries," which was released in Paris in 1827. 4. Details: The young girl's straw hat is a quintessential accessory for the Swiss countryside, providing both protection from the sun and a touch of style. The ribbon loops add a playful and feminine touch to the practical headpiece. Her apron bib is decorated with intricate floral laces, which not only enhance the overall appearance but also serve a functional purpose by protecting her clothing from stains. The striped apron, which is worn over the bib, adds an element of contrast and completes the ensemble. 5. Significance: This engraving offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the fashion and traditions of the Canton of Zug during the 19th century. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to thrive in Switzerland and serves as a source of inspiration for those interested in history, fashion, and art.
