EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the image of a servant girl from Schweinfurt, Bavaria, Germany, in the 19th century. The servant, who is depicted as a nanny with a young child, is richly dressed in a traditional Fränkische Tracht, or Franconian costume. Her attire is adorned with intricate gold braid and vibrant ribbons, adding to the opulence of her appearance. The servant wears a voluminous apron, a common feature of traditional German servant attire, and a tall, conical hat. The young child in her care mirrors her nanny's appearance, carrying a small basket that matches the one held by the servant. The intricate details of their costumes, from the delicate gold braid to the vibrant ribbons, are a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the time. The engraving is a reproduction of an illustration by Louis Marie Lante, as depicted in his publication "Costumes de Divers Pays," or "Costumes of Various Countries," published in Paris in 1827. The illustration was later hand-engraved by Georges Jacques Gatine, resulting in this stunning and intricate visual representation of a moment in 19th-century German life.
