About the Item

Antique costume print titled 'Krautschneider aus Montafun, Vorarlberg'. Old print of a cabbage cutter from Montafon. This print originates from 'Blätter für Kostümkunde'. Montafon is a 39 km long valley in the westernmost Austrian federal state of Vorarlberg. It is traversed by the river Ill (Vorarlberg) and extends from the city of Bludenz and the Verwall Alps in the north, to the Silvretta and Rätikon mountain range in the south. Piz Buin, at 3,312 meters, is the highest peak within the Silvretta mountain range and the highest peak in Vorarlberg. The Montafon region has a population of 16,421. The Montafon festive costume for women consists of a black dress (Juppa), whose bodice (Miadr) is laced at the front. An apron (Schoß) in pastel colors is tied over it. The embroidery is particularly valuable on this costume: the "Brosttuach" is tied in the front of the bodice (ibresa), the apron straps (Schoßbänder) are tied over the apron. Nowadays, the "Libli" (actually part of the younger girls' costume) is mainly worn by dance groups instead of outerwear. In this case, a white blouse is also part of the costume. The picture is rounded off by a red petticoat, red stockings, shoes with buckles and a bow tied around the neck. The most striking feature of the Montafon festive costume is the embroidery. This consists of two or more parts, depending on the occasion and the outer clothing of the costume. All embroidery is handmade, embroidered with silk on black velvet. A skilled embroiderer needs around 500 working hours to produce a complete embroidery. Today, the traditional garment is still being manufactured at the Juppenwerkstatt Riefensberg. Artists and Engravers: Published by Franz Lipperheide, a German publisher of fashion magazines. Condition: Fair, general age-related toning. Blank verso, two large creases. Some other wear, please study image carefully. Date: c.1880 Overall size: 20 x 28 cm Image size: 10 x 17 cm We also offer thousands of antique prints covering fields of interest as diverse as architecture, natural history, religion, ethnology and many more.

Whether you have a house with Victorian furniture or more contemporary decor an old engraving can enhance your living space.
