This colour engraving from the 16th century showcases the Citizens of Leipzig in all their splendor. The image, housed at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, offers a glimpse into the lives of these bourgeois individuals. The print captures a diverse group of townsfolk, including men and women of different ages and social statuses. Standing proudly in full-length fashion attire, they exude an air of wealth and sophistication. The attention to detail is remarkable as every element adds to their fashionable appearance. The women are adorned with exquisite gowns featuring fur trims that speak volumes about their status within society. A mother can be seen holding her daughter's hand while a young girl stands beside them, showcasing the passing down of tradition through generations. Meanwhile, the men display their affluence with purses hanging from their belts and swords by their sides; symbols of power and prosperity during this era. Their overcoats boast intricate designs that highlight German craftsmanship. This engraving not only provides insight into the fashion trends prevalent among citizens during this time but also serves as a historical document reflecting societal norms and values.
