Antique Costume Print of Traditional Attire of Pomerania: Weitzacker in 1870
About the Item
Antique print titled 'Pommern - Weitzacker'. This original antique print shows the costumes of Germany; Pomerania; Weitzacker.
Albert Kretschmer (27 February 1825 – 11 July 1891) was a German professor, painter, costumes researcher and chairman of Schauspielhaus Berlin.
The print titled "Pommern - Weitzacker" showcases the traditional costumes of the Pomerania region, specifically Weitzacker in Germany. The work originates from "Deutsche Volkstrachten. Original-Zeichnungen mit erklärendem Text" ("German National Costumes. Original Drawings with Explanatory Text"), which was published by Albert Kretschmer in Leipzig in 1870.
Albert Kretschmer was renowned for his detailed research and depiction of historical costumes and was a significant figure in the documentation of cultural and traditional attire. His works are highly valued for their historical accuracy and artistic merit, providing insight into the regional clothing styles of 19th-century Germany.
This particular print would have been part of Kretschmer's broader efforts to capture and preserve the diverse sartorial heritage of Germany, and it serves as an important visual record of the traditional dress in Pomerania during that period. The illustration is not just a representation of clothing but also conveys a sense of the social interactions and cultural context of the era.

- English Noblewoman in Traditional Attire, Costume Di Moyen Age, 1847Located in Langweer, NLThis print presents an English noblewoman from the Middle Ages, dressed in a luxurious gown that reflects her high status. She wears an elaborate headdress, which was fashionable among the upper classes during that era. Her dress is adorned with intricate patterns and heraldic motifs, suggesting her family's noble lineage. The cape, vibrant in color and decorated with a complex design, drapes elegantly over her shoulders, indicative of the elaborate styles of the medieval nobility. More about the vivid colors of this original hand-colored antique print: The colors have a nice glow over them. Historically, egg whites, known as glair, and sometimes egg yolk were indeed used in illumination and painting, particularly in manuscripts, to give colors a brighter appearance and to add a sheen or gloss to the work. This technique was quite common during the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance. Egg whites can be applied as a varnish over pigments to enhance their brightness and to protect the colors. This application could make the colors appear more vivid and also add a slight glossy sheen to the surface of the image. Egg yolk, on the other hand, was commonly used as a binding agent in paint. It forms the basis of tempera paint, a medium that was widely used before the advent of oil painting. Egg yolk helps to create a durable and long-lasting color that adheres well to various surfaces. In the context of the print from 1847, it's less likely that egg whites or yolks were used directly on the print, as by that time, commercial printing processes would have been more advanced and less reliant on such manual methods. However, if this print is a representation of an earlier style or is meant to mimic the appearance of hand-painted...Category
