EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 19th century costume plate, titled "Bauer aus Albona in Istrien" or "Farmer from Albona in Istria," showcases the traditional attire of rural men from the Istria region, located in present-day Croatia and Slovenia, along the Adriatic Sea. The intricately detailed engraving, likely produced as a lithograph on paper, captures the essence of rural life in this European area during the 19th century. The farmer is depicted standing tall and proud, clad in a simple yet functional outfit. He wears a long-sleeved, high-necked shirt, which is tucked into his trousers. Over the shirt, he dons a waistcoat, adding a touch of sophistication to his rustic appearance. The trousers, with their wide legs and belted waist, are typical of the era's menswear. The farmer's headdress is a notable feature of this costume plate. The tall, conical hat, adorned with a rosette and a band of ribbon, is a common accessory in rural areas of Europe during this time. The hat not only protected the wearer from the sun and rain but also served as a symbol of his regional heritage. This artwork, created by an unknown artist, offers a glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of the 19th century, specifically in the rural areas of Europe. The rich colors and meticulous details in the engraving make it a valuable addition to any collection of historical art or fashion plates. Today, this costume plate is part of the esteemed collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to its historical significance and artistic merit.
