The Schleswig-Holstein Difficulty: Schleswig costumes, 1864. 'Sand-eel fisher-girl of Blavand's Bay; peasant girl of Fohr in her Sunday attire; peasant woman of Ostenfeldt in her Sunday dress; milk-girl of the Dannewerk. [Peasant women]...as yet undisfigured by crinoline...the milk-girls of Schleswig adopt the yoke...peasant wife of the village of Ostenfeld, attired in her Sunday costume...many of the articles with which her person is decked are of solid silver and gold, and are so costly that they descend as heirlooms in the family for many generations...The Jutland fisher-girl...is a native of the place called Blaavands Huk (literally Blaavands Poiht)...The picturesque beauty of the unadorned costume of the maiden is sufficiently obvious to any artistic eye, so that it would be superfluous to do other than direct attention to the gipsy-like character of the figure...To this gipsy tribe the sand-eel fisher-girl of Blaavands Point is closely allied'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
