EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the image of a young girl from Torla, a picturesque village nestled in the heart of the Spanish Pyrenees in Aragon. The girl, dressed in traditional attire from the 19th century, wears a black bandanna tied around her head, a fichu draped around her neck, a buttoned-up waistcoat, a pleated apron, and sandals tied with long ribbon laces. Her attire reflects the rustic charm and simplicity of rural life in the Pyrenees during that era. The engraving is an elegant rendition of an illustration by Louis Marie Lante, as faithfully reproduced by Georges Jacques Gatine. The meticulous detail in the girl's clothing, from the intricate patterns on her waistcoat to the delicate folds of her apron, is a testament to the skill and artistry of the engraver. The use of handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the young girl to life and transporting us back in time to the Spanish Pyrenees of the 19th century. This engraving is a beautiful reminder of the rich cultural heritage and traditional dress that can still be found in rural communities throughout Spain and beyond. It is a precious historical record of a bygone era, and a testament to the enduring beauty and charm of the Spanish Pyrenees.
