EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases the costume of a young Spanish woman in the 16th century. The image depicts a veiled woman, her entire head and face covered by her cloak, evoking an air of mystery and intrigue. She stands tall, adorned in high sandals reminiscent of those worn by zoccolanti monks. The print is framed with exquisite decorative details engraved by H. Catenacci and Fellmann. It was created through a woodblock engraving process by Gerard Seguin and E. F. Huyot after a woodcut design by Christoph Krieger. This historical artwork hails from Cesare Vecellio's renowned publication "Costumes anciens et modernes, Habiti antichi et moderni di tutto il mondo" published in Paris between 1859-1860. The image offers us a glimpse into the fashion traditions of Spain during the 16th century, highlighting the unique attire worn by women at that time. It reflects both societal norms and individual style choices prevalent during this period. With its intricate details and hidden face, this print serves as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage associated with traditional Spanish costumes. It transports us back to an era where elegance, tradition, and femininity were celebrated through clothing choices. This enchanting piece captures not only the beauty of Spanish fashion but also invites us to explore deeper into historical narratives surrounding youth, society, tradition, identity, and self-expression through clothing.
