About the Item
Traditional Austrian Male Costume: Regency Era Fashion from 1804-1808
This captivating hand-colored engraving from around 1804-1808 is plate 18 from a renowned series of traditional costumes published by J. Murray of Albemarle Street, London. It presents a vivid depiction of a young Austrian man in traditional attire, capturing the distinct regional style of rural Austria during the early 19th century. The print is an outstanding example of Regency-era ethnographic illustration, combining accurate representation with artistic finesse.
The young man is portrayed standing outdoors against a simple yet picturesque landscape, smoking a long-stemmed pipe with a relaxed and dignified demeanor. His outfit is carefully composed, showcasing the layered and colorful garments typical of Austrian folk attire from this period. The most striking element of his ensemble is the bold combination of vibrant colors and contrasting textures.
He wears a broad-brimmed black hat adorned with a striking red rosette, which immediately draws the viewer’s attention to his head. His upper body is dressed in a blue waistcoat, richly decorated with buttons and trim, layered over a deep red vest that is further enhanced by a golden medallion at the center. The white shirt beneath has a high, folded collar, creating a crisp and elegant contrast against the more rustic elements of his outfit. A long, ochre-colored coat drapes over his shoulders, lending an air of casual sophistication.
The trousers are voluminous and dark, cinched at the waist, with blue leggings adding a pop of color and harmonizing with the waistcoat. The inclusion of a short cape peeking out from under the coat gives a layered and practical feel to the costume, suitable for the varied climates of rural Austria.
The engraving technique demonstrates meticulous line work, skillfully combined with hand-applied watercolor to create a lively and vivid depiction. The precise detailing of the costume’s embroidery and folds, along with the carefully blended colors, shows the artist’s dedication to authenticity and craftsmanship. The print’s clarity and preservation of color are remarkable for its age, making it a valuable piece of fashion history.
Condition: The print is in very good condition, with minimal signs of aging and only slight toning typical of antique paper. There is no significant foxing or staining, and the colors remain bright and appealing.
Framing tips: To best showcase this piece, consider framing it with a natural wood or dark brown frame and a cream-colored mat, which will enhance the earthy tones of the costume and the print’s warm patina.
