About the Item

Traditional Headwear from Assisi, Naples, Viterbo, and Beyond – 1823 Print This charming hand-colored lithograph, labeled “No. 2,” is part of a series documenting traditional European costumes, focusing here on regional female headwear. Published in London on December 1, 1823, by Baldwin, Cradock & Joy, it was designed for an English audience eager to explore the rich cultural diversity of the Continent through costume. The print features six finely rendered bust-length portraits of women from different locations in Italy and France, each showcasing distinctive regional headwear. Their names are labeled beneath each figure: Assisi, Near Naples, Vallestirna, Lyon, Meaux, and Viterbo. The woman from Assisi wears a delicate lace veil structured in a geometric latticework over her head, with a red flower tucked near her ear and golden hoop earrings adding warmth. Center top, the figure from Near Naples is seen from behind, with her hair elegantly coiled and secured by a horizontal golden pin, finished with blue and red shoulder ribbons—an unusual rear view that highlights hair arrangement and ornament. The woman from Vallestirna dons a sharply folded white headdress with decorative red and blue shoulder ties and pendant earrings. Her appearance is modest, yet festive. In contrast, the figure from Lyon (bottom left) is depicted in one of the most dramatic regional costumes, wearing a sculptural headdress resembling a bishop’s mitre, paired with a heavy cross pendant and ochre dress—a symbol of local tradition and religious identity. The Meaux woman is shown in profile wearing a wide-brimmed yellow hat trimmed in red, perched over a white lace bonnet. She wears a checkered red kerchief, giving her a bucolic charm. Finally, the woman from Viterbo wears a white veil with a blue border and a red bodice, her elegant pose suggesting dignity and devotion. This print belongs to a genre that celebrated traditional dress during a time when rapid modernization was threatening to erase it. These costume studies are now valuable records of vanishing styles. Condition Report: Good condition with soft age-toning and a light central stamp mark. Minor foxing at the edges and faint handling wear. Color remains strong and the paper is well-preserved. Framing Tips: Use a light maple or gold frame with a wide ivory mat to balance the symmetrical composition. Museum glass will protect the soft hand-coloring. Ideal for pairing with others from the same series.

Traditional Headwear from Italy: Turin, Rome, Subiaco and More – 1823 Print

Located in Langweer, NL

Traditional Headwear from Italy: Turin, Rome, Subiaco and More – 1823 Print This hand-colored lithograph, marked “No. 3,” is the third plate from a striking early 19th-century series documenting traditional European costume, particularly regional headwear. Published in London on December 1, 1823, by Baldwin, Cradock & Joy, this print showcases six distinct styles worn by women across Italy, offering a comparative glimpse into local identity, ceremonial dress, and religious symbolism. At the center top is a dramatic blue hooded garment labeled “Penitent.” Worn with the face obscured, this penitential garment features a small red cross emblem, likely representing affiliation with a religious brotherhood or spiritual order. It stands out starkly from the other portraits and introduces a solemn, sacred tone. To its left, a view from behind shows a woman from “Settimo” wearing a stylized crown of hairpins radiating like a sunburst, secured by a horizontal golden bar. Below her elaborately embroidered collar, a red ribbon is neatly tied. To the right, a woman from “Turin” wears an exquisite bonnet of pleated white lace, creating a fan-like halo above her head. Her large gold cross...

Traditional Headdresses from Italy and France: Florence, Ostia, Castà – 1823

Located in Langweer, NL

Traditional Headdresses from Italy and France: Florence, Ostia, Castà – 1823 This hand-colored lithograph, marked “No. 5,” is the fifth plate in a captivating 1823 series published in London by Baldwin, Cradock & Joy, illustrating traditional headdresses from across Europe. With a focus on Italian regional fashion, but also including a figure from Languedoc (France), the print showcases the diversity and creativity of 19th-century women's headwear in both ceremonial and everyday contexts. At upper left, a woman from Montefiascone wears a simple yet elegant white veil draped loosely over her hair and shoulders. Her scarlet sleeve ribbons and golden earring add a dash of vibrancy to an otherwise modest ensemble. In contrast, the central figure from Lariana dons one of the most dramatic headpieces on the sheet: a large, bright yellow hat embellished with blue ribbon and multiple ornamental loops. Her necklace with a red cross pendant suggests a religious or festival connection. To the upper right, the figure from Languedoc is rendered in profile wearing a striking purple bonnet with vertical ridges, trimmed with white lace, and set against a yellow collar. This French addition provides an interesting cross-cultural comparison within a primarily Italian series. The bottom row continues with a woman from Florence, shown from behind with her dark hair intricately braided and adorned with a long pink and white ribbon that drapes down her back—an emblem of grace and femininity. The central bottom figure from Ostia wears a wide-brimmed felt hat...
