18th-Century Aristocratic and Ceremonial Attire: Handcolored Engraving of 1805

About the Item

This handcolored copperplate engraving, originating from Friedrich Johann Bertuch’s "Bilderbuch für Kinder" (Picture Book for Children) published in Weimar in 1805, depicts four striking historical figures in ceremonial attire. The engraving captures their unique garments, each rich with symbolism and representative of their respective statuses or roles within European society: - Figure 1: A dignitary wearing the Order of Malta's cloak, adorned with a Maltese Cross, exuding authority and devotion to chivalric traditions. The tailored coat and cane reflect noble sophistication. - Figure 2: A Venetian doge in a resplendent ceremonial robe of deep red and gold embroidery, highlighting the opulence of Venice's ruling elite. The attire radiates wealth and prestige. - Figure 3: A noblewoman dressed in elaborate courtly fashion, her gown featuring intricate patterns and floral motifs, complemented by a feathered headdress. This attire exemplifies aristocratic elegance. - Figure 4: A courtier in black formal attire, intricately embroidered, likely representing a position of high esteem or association with the Order of Malta. The cape and red hat add a flair of authority. This engraving is a fascinating artifact, offering a vivid glimpse into the ceremonial and aristocratic dress of the time. Bertuch's ability to capture such fine details of texture, pattern, and ornamentation makes this work both a valuable historical document and an artistic masterpiece. The hand-coloring further enhances its visual appeal, providing lifelike representation of the fabrics and materials. Condition: The print is in good condition, with bright hand-coloring and minor foxing on the edges. Slight wear on the corners, typical for its age, does not detract from its charm. This engraving is ideal for framing, especially in an ornate or gilded frame, which would complement its historic grandeur and emphasize its artistic details. A perfect addition for collectors of historical costume art or European aristocratic history.
