EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Costume of a bride of Lolland, 16th century" takes us back in time to the Danish island of Lolland during the Renaissance period. The image showcases the exquisite attire worn by a bride on her special day. The bride is adorned with a regal gold crown atop her head, symbolizing her status and importance. Her long curly hair cascades down, partially covered by a delicate silk veil that adds an air of mystery and elegance. The short robe and tunic she wears are intricately decorated with small tassels, adding texture and movement to her ensemble. The engraving itself is framed within an ornate decorative frame engraved by H. Catenacci and Fellmann. It was created through woodblock engraving techniques mastered by Gerard Seguin and E. F. Huyot after a woodcut design by Christoph Krieger. This print comes from Cesare Vecellio's renowned work "Costumes anciens et modernes" which beautifully captures historical costumes from various cultures around the world. Through this enchanting image, we catch a glimpse into the fashion traditions of 16th-century Denmark while also appreciating the artistry involved in creating such intricate engravings. It serves as a reminder of how clothing can reflect not only personal style but also cultural heritage and societal norms throughout history.
