Title:
Traditional Folk Costumes from Europe – "Volkstrachten I." c. 1890
Description:
This exquisite chromolithograph, titled “Volkstrachten I.” (Folk Costumes I), dates from around 1890 and showcases the rich diversity of European traditional dress. Produced by the Bibliographisches Institut in Leipzig, it is part of a larger series illustrating the variety and cultural richness of folk costumes across the continent.
The image is divided into two horizontal rows featuring figures from various regions, each carefully dressed in their distinctive, historically accurate costumes. From the warm furs and layered tunics of the Lapps in Finland to the elaborate, richly embroidered dresses of Westphalian farmers, this lithograph captures the spirit and identity of communities defined by their clothing traditions. The intricate details – from headscarves and shawls to aprons and boots – reveal the skilled craftsmanship and regional pride that went into making these costumes.
Notably, this plate also highlights the diversity of occupations and social roles, from fishermen and peasants to maidens and spinners. These depictions are more than just a snapshot of fashion; they offer a vivid glimpse into the lives, customs, and cultural heritage of 19th-century Europe.
The colors are beautifully balanced, from earthy greens and browns to vibrant reds and blues, evoking the harmonious and practical nature of folk dress. For collectors of ethnographic art or anyone fascinated by the cultural history of Europe, this lithograph is a captivating and informative piece that celebrates the enduring beauty of regional costume.
