Young woman of Guggisberg, Canton of Bern, Switzerland, 19th century. Her hair braids are tied over her toquet, and her initials are embroidered on her breast either side of a small bib corset. She holds a flower that she will grip with her teeth when dancing coquettishly. Handcoloured copperplate engraving by Georges Jacques Gatine after an illustration by Louis Marie Lante from Costumes of Various Countries, Costumes de Divers Pays, Paris, 1827.
