About the Item

Costume Print: Woman at Devotion, Near Florence, 1820s Hand-Colored Engraving This evocative hand-colored engraving depicts a woman in traditional Italian costume, kneeling in devotion within a richly decorated chapel near Florence, Italy. Published in the 1820s by Baldwin, Cradock & Joy, this piece is part of an ethnographic series documenting the regional dress and customs of Italy, intended for an English audience fascinated by continental culture. The central figure is dressed in a striking blue and orange dress with a white lace-trimmed bodice and an intricately braided hairstyle adorned with a pink ribbon. She clasps a rosary in her hands as she kneels in prayer, her expression one of quiet reverence. Her outfit, rendered with exquisite hand coloring, captures the vibrant colors and textures of traditional Florentine attire. The background scene is rich in religious iconography and architectural details. A small confessional is depicted to the left, with figures engaged in quiet devotion or penance. On the wall, religious images, crosses, and papal symbols add depth and context, illustrating the centrality of faith in 19th-century Italian life. The green curtain draped to the side reveals an altar or a statue of Christ, further anchoring the scene in the sacred. Such prints were prized for their detailed depiction of regional costume and daily life. They offered a vivid glimpse into the rituals and traditions of Italy, blending artistic skill with ethnographic curiosity. The fine engraving and meticulous hand coloring make this a particularly appealing and historically resonant example from the genre. Condition: This antique print is in very good condition, with minor age-related toning and some slight foxing typical of early 19th-century prints. The colors are bright and retain their original charm, providing a warm, authentic window into the past. Framing tips: For an elegant and historically sensitive display, use a soft cream or ivory mat and a classic wood or gilt frame. This will highlight the delicate lines and rich colors of the print, turning it into a beautiful focal point that evokes a bygone era.
