EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century costume plate, titled "Friesische Frau aus Westerland auf Sylt," showcases the traditional attire of a Frisian woman from Westerland on the North Sea island of Sylt, Germany. The intricately detailed engraving, likely produced as a fashion plate or illustration, transports us back in time to an era of elegant country living. The woman is depicted wearing a voluminous, dark-colored dress with a high waist and full skirt, accessorized with a red cloak and a fur-trimmed headdress. Her boots, featuring high carriage boots with fur trim and decorative laces, are a striking contrast to her delicate white gloves. The woman's shoes, also adorned with red detailing, peek out from under her voluminous skirt. The line engraving, which is a type of print made by incising lines into a surface and then inking and printing from that surface, showcases the intricacy and attention to detail that was characteristic of 19th century fashion illustrations. The use of color, primarily red and shades of brown, adds depth and dimension to the image. This costume plate is a valuable piece of heritage art, providing a glimpse into the fashion and cultural traditions of Germany during the 19th century. Today, it is part of the extensive collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich history of art and fashion.
