Woman in Lorraine Dress — Antique Costume Print

The Story in the Margin

This figure study shows a woman in the traditional dress of Lorraine, in eastern France. It belongs to the long European tradition of costume prints, which catalogued the fashions of different provinces, trades and ranks with careful, almost documentary attention — a record of how people actually looked, region by region.
