EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a group of Austrian women in traditional costume, taken in Schruns, Vorarlberg around 1935. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their ability to capture the essence of these women's attire is truly commendable. The women are dressed in exquisite patterned dresses made from brocade fabric, which beautifully showcases the rich textile heritage of Austria. Their fitted jackets add an elegant touch to their ensemble, while the elaborate bonnets they wear on their heads complete the traditional look. These bonnets are adorned with intricate floral patterns that reflect the natural beauty found in the Montafon valley where these women hail from. Vorarlberg is a state located at Austria's westernmost point and shares borders with Germany, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein. This region has its own distinct cultural identity and traditions that are proudly displayed through its national dress. The photograph was featured in "Osterreich - Land Und Volk" (Austria, Land and People), a book by R. Lechner (Wilhelm Muller) published around 1935. It serves as a testament to both artistic expression and documentation of Austrian culture during this time period. This stunning image transports us back to an era when tradition held great importance for communities across Austria. It reminds us of the beauty found within diversity and how clothing can serve as a powerful symbol of cultural identity.
