EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases a coloured engraving titled "Indian and Asian dress" by the German School from the 19th century. The image, part of a private collection, depicts an array of traditional Indian and Asian garments. The illustration was originally created for the book "Zur Geschichte der Kostume" (Braun & Schneider, c 1895), offering a glimpse into the rich history of costume in these regions. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship displayed in each outfit highlight the diverse fashion traditions prevalent in India and various parts of Asia. From elegant saris to ornate turbans, this print encapsulates the essence of Hindu culture while also celebrating the unique styles found across different Asian countries. It serves as a visual testament to how clothing can be both an expression of national identity and an art form. Notably, this engraving captures not only iconic Indian attire but also includes references to Singaporean fashion with mentions of clothes worn by Parsis - members of one community that migrated to Singapore from Bombay (now Mumbai). This inclusion emphasizes the influence that South East Asia had on shaping regional dressing styles during that era. Overall, this print offers viewers a fascinating glimpse into historical costumes from India and Asia while showcasing their beauty through detailed engravings preserved over time.
