EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 18th century showcases the distinct attire of an Oliverian and English Partisan in 1650. The print, part of a private collection, is a fascinating glimpse into the fashion trends of that era. The illustration comes from "Recueil des Habillements de Differentes Nations, Anciens et Modernes" a renowned book featuring designs by prominent artists such as Holbein, Vandyke, Hollar, and others. Published in London in 1757 by Thomas Jefferys, this book serves as a valuable resource for studying historical clothing. In this particular image, we see a man dressed in traditional Oliverian and English Partisan garb. His outfit includes breeches paired with a coat and hat typical of the period. A notable feature is his long beard which was fashionable during that time. The engraving provides us with insights into not only the clothing choices but also the cultural context of 17th-century England. It reflects both Germanic influences on British fashion as well as specific regional styles prevalent in northern Germany. As we examine this print closely, it becomes evident how fashion has evolved over centuries while still retaining elements that define certain eras or cultures. This artwork offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate history through its sartorial lens and understand how clothing can be an expression of identity and societal norms.
