EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the essence of childhood in Lower Lusacia, Germany during the 19th century. The young vandal girl, dressed in traditional attire, stands confidently with a bouquet of wildflowers in hand, her eyes filled with curiosity and mischief. Her outfit consists of a simple yet elegant dress adorned with an apron, accessorized with a fichu (a type of neck scarf) and a toquet, a headdress featuring a ruff collar and a bow. This enchanting portrait was created through the meticulous process of hand-colouring a copperplate engraving. The intricate details of the girl's clothing, as well as the delicate shading and hues of her skin and flowers, were painstakingly applied by skilled artisans. The illustration was originally published in the comprehensive work "Costumes of Various Countries" by Louis Marie Lante, with the engraving done by Georges Jacques Gatine in Paris, 1827. This publication aimed to document and preserve the diverse fashion and cultural traditions of various regions around the world, making it an invaluable resource for historians, fashion enthusiasts, and artists alike. The young vandal girl, with her playful expression and vibrant attire, serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions that once defined the lives of children in Lower Lusacia during the 19th century. Her image continues to captivate and inspire us, offering a glimpse into the past and the beauty of human creativity.
