Original Antique Costume Print "Habit of a Lady of Lima in Peru", 1779
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: Original Antique Costume Print "Habit of a Lady of Lima in Peru", 1779 Description: An original antique copperplate engraving titled "Habit of a Lady of Lima in Peru", depicting an elegantly dressed lady from colonial Lima. The engraving was published in London in 1779 as part of The New Universal Traveller by Jonathan Carver. The print portrays a fashionable lady of Lima wearing an elaborate blue gown decorated with lace, jewellery and floral ornaments in her hair. She gracefully holds a rose, reflecting the refinement and elegance associated with the Creole society of Lima during the late eighteenth century. During the colonial period, Lima was one of the wealthiest and most sophisticated cities in the Americas. European travellers frequently admired the city's elegant fashions, luxurious fabrics and cosmopolitan lifestyle. Costume plates such as this introduced readers to the distinctive dress and customs of distant cultures, becoming some of the earliest visual records of daily life in colonial Peru. The graceful pose and carefully engraved costume make this an attractive example of eighteenth-century costume illustration. The delicate hand colouring enhances the richness of the dress while preserving the crisp detail of the engraving. This engraving was published in Jonathan Carver's The New Universal Traveller, an important late eighteenth-century geographical work that combined descriptions of countries around the world with illustrations of their inhabitants, costumes and customs. This is an original antique engraving printed in 1779. It is not a modern reproduction. Maker: Unknown engraver Publication: The New Universal Traveller Author: Jonathan Carver Title: Habit of a Lady of Lima in Peru Place of publication: London Date: 1779 Technique: Copperplate engraving with hand colouring Origin: England Condition: Good condition considering its age. General age-related toning, occasional light foxing and minor handling wear. Please study the image carefully. The framed and interior visuals are provided for imagination and presentation purposes only. The original antique print is sold unframed.
