EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "A Girl in the Karpathians" transports us back to the 19th century. The artwork, created by Menie Muriel Dowie and engraved by an English School artist, captures a scene from a travelogue published in The Illustrated London News on April 25,1891. The image showcases a young girl named Ulusia dressed in traditional clothing of the Carpathian Mountains. She stands confidently on a road with her attendant Iwan by her side. Behind them is a quaint house where other domestic workers can be seen going about their daily tasks. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable; every fold of fabric and expression on each character's face tells its own story. It offers us a glimpse into the lives of people living in this remote region during that era. Dowie's illustration not only highlights the beauty of the Karpathians but also sheds light on the cultural significance of local attire and customs. It serves as an invaluable historical document for those interested in understanding different cultures and traditions. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we have access to this exquisite piece that allows us to appreciate both Dowie's artistic talent and gain insight into life at that time.
