EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant and diverse costumes of the Swiss canton of Zurich in the early 18th century. The coloured engraving, created by an anonymous German School artist in the 19th century, captures the essence of this historical period with exquisite detail. The image offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Swiss culture and fashion during this era. From noblewomen adorned in elegant dresses to farmers donning traditional attire, each figure represents a different facet of society. The men's clothing ranges from simple peasant garb to elaborate outfits worn by members of the bourgeois class. Notably, a man wearing a fur hat stands out among others, symbolizing his status or profession within Zurich society. Meanwhile, students can be seen dressed in distinctive uniforms that reflect their educational pursuits. The engraving also includes individuals clad in mourning dress, highlighting how societal customs were reflected even through clothing choices during times of grief. Overall, this print serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of Swiss fashion from centuries ago. It transports viewers back to a time when intricate details and craftsmanship played significant roles in defining one's identity within European society.
