Very nice, Frank! This looks like someone's idea of what peasants should look like and be dressed.

Frank, congratulations!
Taking about the peasants, here is information and some pictures from famous PANORAMA RACLAWICKA - showing how Polish peasants were fighting against occupants at the end of XVIII century

Well done Frank. But, you know, this picture should be in the current thread on Polish stereotypes! I am sure a lot of non-Pole residents autres pays must think Polish peasants still look like this!! Merry Christmas and Sto Lat Leslie

Leslie That is close to truth. Today ,peasants (yes, I mean not farmers, but peasants) look the same, only outfits changed, but the rest didn`t. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I drive a lot in the countryside, I see such types very often.

Frank, You should publish the information on what era and what part of Poland this picture represents. Showing it out of context is a bit of a waste of time.

One day at a time sweet Jesus,Give me the strength to do what I have to do Thanks Franek It is an interesting picture and I expect people are curious, as am I. My words came out a little harsher than I intended. It seems everyone knows the folk costumes of 100 and 120 years ago, but there seems to be little record of what teh peasants wore in previous centuries. Kai

I followed Frank around the web , and discovered that the picture he posted represents the 16th century. If you right click on an image, then choose "properties" you will see the url where the picture resides. The only part of the costume that looks "different" to me are the shoes. Pawian, what do you mean by "types" ?

Kai, You are right and Nancy is right again, as usual. These costumes are from the 16th century. You got me to look into this and I found some interesting reading. I was going to paste the URL, but it is too long. I have more reading to do. It seems like this was close to the time of the Tartar invasion of Poland. A lot of peasants of that era were Cossaks repelling the invasion. It also tells about a large number of Cossaks who joined up with the Tartars and spread havoc among the Polish population. They earned the reputation of being as cruel as the Tartars.

Franek,
Try "tinyurl.com" to compress a log URL. I have only once it once, but it was amazingly simple.
16th century dress, OK, I can buy that, but the Tatars romped through our neighborhoods around 1241.
