Peasant Women in Traditional Dress from Ingria (color plate) (Q319): Difference between revisions

Hand-colored ethnographic illustration showing a peasant woman from Ingria and an Estonian (Livonian) woman in traditional attire, from a multilingual atlas published in Leipzig in 1803. The “Lettin” refers to Latvian / Livonian peoples — often used imprecisely in 19th-century ethnographic literature. “Esthonienne” and “Эстландская” refer to what we now call Estonians. “Ingria” refers to a region historically near modern Saint Petersburg, with a distinct Finnic population (Ingrians).
