Antique Costume Print of People in the Harz Region in Germany, ca. 1890
About the Item
"Antique print titled 'Harz'. This print shows the costumes of Germany; Harz. This print originates from 'Deutsche Volkstrachten' published by J.G. Bach in Leipzich, 1890.
The Harz is a highland area in northern Germany. It has the highest elevations for that region, and its rugged terrain extends across parts of Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia. The name Harz derives from the Middle High German word Hardt or Hart (hill forest), Latinized as Hercynia. The Brocken is the highest summit in the Harz with an elevation of 1,141.1 metres (3,744 ft) above sea level. The Wurmberg (971 metres (3,186 ft)) is the highest peak located entirely within the state of Lower Saxony.
Between 1945 and 1990, the Inner German border ran through the Harz, the west belonging to the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) and the east to the German Democratic Republic (East Germany). Today the Harz forms a popular tourist destination for summer hiking as well as winter sports.
Artists and Engravers: Albert Kretschmer (27 February 1825 – 11 July 1891) was a German professor, painter, costumes researcher and chairman of Schauspielhaus Berlin.
