Costume Print: Traditional Dress of Rome, 1820 Hand-Colored Engraving
This charming hand-colored engraving depicts two figures in traditional dress from Rome, Italy, capturing a moment of lively conversation in the street. Published in 1820 by Baldwin, Cradock & Joy, it forms part of a series dedicated to showcasing the diverse costumes and customs of Italy’s regions. These prints offered a colorful and engaging window into local life and were prized by travelers and collectors.
The woman on the left wears a striking outfit with a white skirt, a vivid yellow bodice, and a red apron that stands out against her bright green laced sleeves. Her red headscarf adds an additional burst of color and frames her expressive face as she gestures animatedly. She holds a small wicker basket, typical of market or household use, completing her outfit with practical flair.
The man beside her is dressed in a striking blue cloak, draped elegantly over his shoulders and partially concealing his figure. His wide-brimmed hat is typical of rural Italian men’s attire, adding a touch of mystery to his character. The background hints at daily life in Rome, with a trattoria entrance visible, complete with a sign advertising “vino buono e rosolio,” a traditional sweet liqueur. A glimpse into the trattoria’s interior shows two patrons seated at a rustic wooden table, reinforcing the sense of community and conviviality.
The hand coloring brings this lively street scene to life, infusing it with warmth and authenticity. Such prints were both works of art and cultural records, highlighting the beauty and diversity of regional dress in 19th-century Italy.
Condition:
This antique print is in very good condition, with minor age-related toning and slight foxing that only add to its vintage charm. The colors remain vibrant and carefully applied.
Framing tips:
For an elegant presentation, use a neutral mat in cream or light beige, paired with a classic wooden or antique gold frame. This will highlight the warm colors and lively details of the print, making it an engaging focal point in any collection or interior setting.
