About the Item

Young Lady of Tine Costume Print, Greek Archipelago Engraving Jefferys 1749 Description: An elegant and finely hand-colored 18th-century costume engraving depicting a young lady of Tine (modern-day Tinos in the Greek Cyclades), published in London in 1749 by the distinguished cartographer and publisher Thomas Jefferys. This print forms part of a celebrated ethnographic series illustrating traditional dress and cultural identity across the Ottoman Empire, the Greek islands, and the Eastern Mediterranean, reflecting the strong European fascination with global costume, travel, and exotic cultures during the Enlightenment. The figure is shown in a graceful, slightly dynamic pose, dressed in a flowing green robe with delicate pleating and subtle tonal variation. A softly draped headscarf frames her face and extends behind her, adding movement and elegance to the composition. The restrained yet refined palette—greens, soft reds, and warm neutrals—combined with the precise engraved linework and original hand coloring, gives the print a sophisticated and decorative presence. The subject represents Tine, an important island in the Aegean Sea, known historically for its maritime connections and layered cultural influences under Ottoman rule. Thomas Jefferys was one of the leading publishers in mid-18th-century London, renowned for his maps, atlases, and engravings that combined scientific precision with artistic quality. His costume prints are particularly sought after for their ethnographic interest, historical insight into regional dress, and their strong decorative appeal. This engraving offers a refined glimpse into traditional island attire as interpreted for a European audience, making it both a historical document and a visually engaging artwork. Keywords: antique print, costume print, Greek costume, Tine, Tinos, Greek islands, Cyclades, Ottoman Empire, ethnographic print, 18th century engraving, hand colored engraving, Thomas Jefferys, London publisher, traditional dress, island costume, Eastern Mediterranean, Aegean, decorative print, collector print, interior design wall art, original antique artwork. The balanced composition and elegant figure make this print highly suitable for interior display, particularly in Mediterranean, coastal, classical, or globally inspired interiors. It works beautifully as a standalone piece or as part of a curated gallery wall of costume prints or travel imagery. Condition report: Good condition. General age-related toning to the paper. Minor scattered foxing. Light edge wear. Plate mark visible. Overall a clean and attractive impression with well-preserved original hand coloring. Please study image carefully. Framing tips: Best presented in a museum-style frame with a wide warm ivory mat and a dark walnut, ebonized, or subtle gilt frame. This enhances the soft tones and adds depth and sophistication. Particularly effective when paired with similar costume engravings for a cohesive and high-end wall display. This is an original antique engraving, not a reproduction. All items we offer are authentic period works of art over 100 years old. The print is sold unframed; any framed images are shown for presentation and interior inspiration only and may not always be to scale. Technique: Engraving with original hand color Maker: Thomas Jefferys, London, 1749
