EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled "Servant girl carrying a bouquet of seasonal flowers to announce the birth of a child to family and friends in Zurich, Switzerland, 19th century," captures a heartwarming moment in the life of a servant girl. The image, created by the skilled hands of Georges Jacques Gatine after an illustration by Louis Marie Lante, is taken from the renowned publication "Costumes of Various Countries, Costumes de Divers Pays," published in Paris in 1827. The servant girl, dressed in traditional Swiss attire, is depicted carrying a beautiful bouquet of seasonal flowers, symbolizing the joy and excitement of a newborn child. Her expression is filled with pride and anticipation as she goes from door to door, sharing the news of the new arrival with family and friends. The intricate details of her clothing, from the embroidered apron to the lace cap, add to the authenticity of the scene. The use of handcolouring adds a touch of elegance and vibrancy to the engraving, bringing the image to life. The rich colours of the flowers, the girl's rosy cheeks, and the warm tones of her clothing all contribute to the overall charm of the print. This beautiful image provides a glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the customs and traditions of 19th century Switzerland. It is a reminder of the simple joys in life, the importance of community, and the enduring bond between a new mother and those around her.
