EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Costume of a Finnish peasant, 18th century" takes us back in time to the rural landscapes of Finland during the 18th century. The image showcases a traditional Finnish peasant dressed in his customary attire. With a felt hat adorning his head and long hair flowing down to his shoulders, he exudes an air of rustic charm. Clothed in garments made from warm walmar cloth and cinched at the waist with a leather belt, this Finnish peasant is ready for the demands of agricultural life. A knife tucked into his belt serves as both a tool and symbol of self-sufficiency. In one hand, he holds onto a staff that provides support during long hours spent working on the land. The hand-colored copperplate engraving beautifully captures every intricate detail of this historical costume. Created by Johann Gottlieb Georgi and published by Jean-Baptiste Eyries in 1823, it offers us insight into the traditions and customs prevalent among Finnish peasants centuries ago. Through this print, we are transported to an era where tradition played an integral role in society's fabric. It serves as a reminder of how clothing can reflect not only practicality but also cultural identity and heritage. This enchanting depiction invites us to appreciate the rich history encapsulated within each stitch of fabric worn by our ancestors.
