This stunning 19th century lithograph, titled "Costume Plate (Bäuerin aus Bortfeld bei Braunschweig)" or "Peasant Woman from Bortfeld near Braunschweig," is a captivating work of art by German artists Berhard Plockhorst and R. Henkel. The intricately detailed image showcases the traditional attire and accessories of rural women in Germany during this era. The young woman in the print wears a voluminous, high-waisted dress with a white apron, adorned with intricate floral patterns. Her headdress, consisting of a white fabric headscarf with a red ribbon, is held in place by a large, ornate brooch. In her hands, she carries a woven basket, while at her feet rests a colorful umbrella.

The location depicted in the print is believed to be Bortfeld, a village near Braunschweig in Germany. The image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and fashion traditions of the time, providing a window into the past and offering a connection to the history of European clothing and textiles. This beautiful work of art, "Costume Plate (Bäuerin aus Bortfeld bei Braunschweig)" by Berhard Plockhorst and R.
