About the Item

Costume Print: Peasant Women at Lerici, 1820s Hand-Colored Engraving Description: This striking hand-colored engraving depicts two peasant women in traditional attire, standing before the ancient ruins at Lerici, a charming coastal town in Liguria, Italy. Part of an early 19th-century travelogue or ethnographic series, this print captures the daily lives and vibrant costumes of Italy’s rural population in a romantic and picturesque style. The two women are dressed in simple yet colorful regional clothing that reflects the practical needs and modest elegance of peasant life in Liguria. The woman on the left wears a pale yellow apron over a white blouse, her hair tied back in a green ribbon, while the woman on the right carries a small hoe and wears a straw hat with a red scarf tied around her neck. Their garments, with bold primary colors and decorative accents, are rendered with meticulous hand-coloring that brings out the texture and vibrancy of their attire. In the background, the ruins of an ancient fortress rise against the clear sky, suggesting the deep historical roots of Lerici, which has seen centuries of maritime and military activity. The juxtaposition of the humble figures with the grand, crumbling architecture lends a sense of enduring tradition and quiet strength to the scene. The engraving was published in London in the early 1820s by Baldwin, Cradock & Joy, a prominent publisher of travel and costume prints. These prints catered to the curiosity of English and European audiences who were fascinated by the cultural diversity and scenic beauty of the Mediterranean. The hand coloring is delicate and vibrant, enhancing the appeal of this historical portrayal. Condition: This print is in very good condition, with minor foxing and age-related toning typical of prints from this period. The colors remain fresh and appealing, and the paper has a beautiful, lightly textured surface that adds to its antique charm. Framing tips: For a refined display, use a soft cream or beige mat and a warm wood or gilt frame. This combination will harmonize with the earthy palette of the figures and landscape, creating a classic, museum-quality presentation.
