About the Item

Elegant Dutch Couple in Festive Bergen-Binnen Costume, Early 1800s Print This richly detailed early 20th-century lithograph presents a man and woman from Bergen-Binnen, North Holland, dressed in the traditional festive attire worn during the first quarter of the 19th century. The composition captures the distinctive style of this historic Dutch village, known for its Gothic architecture and proximity to the sea, nestled between dunes and polders. The woman’s ensemble is especially elaborate, evoking aristocratic influences with a strong regional identity. Her hair is cropped and covered by a black silk cap over which a fine lace cap and the signature golden oorijzer (ear-iron) are fixed. She wears a voluminous skirt of blue damask woven in a late 18th-century floral pattern, several petticoats, and a tightly fitted short bodice with a gathered basque. The ensemble is finished with a deep décolletée edged with fringe and tied with a gold brooch at the shoulder. Hanging from her waist are practical and decorative items including a Bible with silver corners, scissors, a knife and fork set in silver, and a small silver spool — each suspended by a fine chain. The man stands proudly in a brilliantly colored patterned waistcoat featuring red, blue, green, and yellow flowers, worn with a white scarf knotted at the neck and formal black corduroy breeches. His glossy black cap with a tall crown is characteristic of North Holland’s ceremonial attire. In his hand, he holds a silver purse — a symbolic token for his betrothed. The outfit, rich in color and formality, was worn to solemn events such as engagements or weddings. The vibrant costumes are set against a patterned backdrop of stylized Delft-style tiles featuring traditional Dutch windmill motifs. The effect is both decorative and nostalgic, drawing attention to the elegance of regional dress in its most celebratory form. Condition: This original lithograph is in very good condition with excellent color retention and clean margins. Slight age-toning to the paper is consistent with its age and adds a warm, authentic patina. No tears, stains, or folds are present. Framing Tips: For optimal visual impact, consider framing this print with a wide off-white or pale blue mat and a simple black or oakwood frame. This will complement the fine detail and vivid palette while enhancing the print’s museum-like presence. For themed displays, this piece pairs beautifully with other regional costume prints from the Netherlands or Europe.
