EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the essence of childhood innocence in the Canton of Glarus, Switzerland during the 19th century. The young girl, adorned in traditional attire, gazes directly at the viewer with a curious and playful expression. She wears a lace bonnet, intricately designed with butterfly wings and a notched band, which adds a charming touch to her outfit. The bonnet is complemented by a fichu, a long scarf worn around the neck, and a pair of petticoats. The girl holds a basket in her left hand, suggesting that she may have been out gathering fruits or flowers. The attention to detail in her costume, from the delicate lace to the intricate stitching, reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Canton of Glarus. This beautiful handcoloured copperplate engraving was created by Georges Jacques Gatine, based on an illustration by Louis Marie Lante from the publication "Costumes of Various Countries" published in Paris in 1827. The engraving showcases the artistic skill and craftsmanship of the time, transporting us back to a simpler era and allowing us to appreciate the beauty and uniqueness of traditional Swiss costumes.
