1889 Americana Asturias Engraver Espanola Ilustracion Pitcher Rico
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting 19th-century engraving captures the essence of traditional Asturian culture in Spain. The image features a graceful young girl adorned in the vibrant and intricate clothing of her region. Asturias, located in the northern part of the country, is known for its unique and distinctive costumes, which were influenced by both the region's rich history and its close ties to Europe and the Americas. The girl in the engraving wears a voluminous, embroidered skirt, a fitted bodice, and a shawl draped over her shoulders. In her hands, she holds a traditional Asturian jug and pitcher, which are adorned with intricate designs and patterns. The jug, known as a "pitcherrico," was a common household item used for serving water or other beverages. The engraver, a master of his craft, has expertly captured the details of the girl's costume and the textures of the jug and pitcher. The engraving, which dates back to 1889, is a testament to the historical significance of Asturian culture and the artistry of the engraver. This image provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the traditions and customs of a bygone era. The engraving is a beautiful and intriguing piece of European history, and it is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to thrive in Asturias and throughout Spain. It is a must-have for anyone with an interest in history, art, or the traditions of Europe and the Americas.
