About the Item
Mourning Costumes of Hindeloopen with Painted Reading Desk, 1932
This striking hand-colored lithograph is Plate II from the 1932 folio The National Costumes of Holland, created by Gratiane de Gardilanne and Elizabeth Whitney Moffatt with text by Alma Oakes. Only 500 copies of the folio were printed for commercial distribution, making each individual plate a rare and highly collectible item. This particular illustration is titled Mourning in Hindeloopen and depicts a traditional mourning scene from the coastal Frisian town of Hindeloopen.
The image shows an elderly man and woman dressed in the third degree of mourning, one of seven distinct stages once observed in this region. The woman wears a foarflechten, a stiff linen hat covered in dull black cambric, in place of the usual white head covering. Her checked Indian cotton zondoek and her fichu, in tones of very dark and light blue, reflect mourning customs specific to Hindeloopen. Her long coat, known as a wentke, is purple and blue, and is trimmed with a langet of matching tones rather than the typical reds and whites. She also wears a voorspeldoek, a decorative apron, and black shoes adorned with silver buckles.
The man stands in formal Sunday dress, drawn from eighteenth-century fashion. He wears a blue and silver damask waistcoat beneath a long black broadcloth coat trimmed with small black buttons. His trousers are black knee-breeches, paired with worsted stockings and leather shoes with buckles. A white cambric neck scarf is tied traditionally, and a silver watch chain with seals and keys is visible hanging from his waist.
Between them stands a beautifully decorated Hindeloopen reading desk with a finely illuminated Bible laid open on top. Such painted furniture was commonly used during times of mourning, typically featuring a restrained palette of dark blue and white. Even the accompanying foot warmer would match these somber tones, making this scene a touching portrayal of domestic ritual and quiet dignity.
Technique and condition
This plate was printed using the chromolithographic process by Vincent, Brooks, Day and Son in London, a firm celebrated for its richly layered and precise color work. The print remains in excellent condition, with vibrant original color and clean margins, free from any visible tears or stains.
Framing tips
To enhance the subdued palette and period character of the print, a dark wood or black frame is recommended, paired with an archival off-white or dove grey mat. For an elegant presentation, consider floating the print above the mat within a shadow-box style frame. Always use UV-protective glass to guard the delicate surface and colors from light damage.

"Asleep in the Hay, " Art Deco Print with Half-Nude Male by Lynd Ward, 1932
By Lynd Ward
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Famed for his woodcut book illustrations in the Art Deco era, Lynd Ward produced a series of dramatic images that reminded the reader of film noirs of the era, with spotlit figures in dark settings that seemed to presage flight, fear, hope and death. Unsigned plates from the books he illustrated are not uncommon, but signed prints such as this are rare. This image was an illustration for "Wild Pilgrimage" by Ward, published by Harrison Smith...
