EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 16th century showcases a Woman of the Island of Grenada, offering us a glimpse into her daily life and attire. The woman is depicted spinning thread with a spindle, showcasing her skillful craftsmanship. Her headdress made of wood and cotton veil adds an element of cultural significance to her ensemble. The intricate details in this print highlight the woman's short cape, linen breeches, and wrapped legs reminiscent of Italian fashion at that time. It is fascinating to observe how different cultures influenced fashion trends during this period. The decorative frame surrounding the engraving was expertly engraved by H. Catenacci and Fellmann, adding an extra layer of artistry to this piece. Woodblock engravings by Gerard Seguin and E. F. Huyot were used to recreate Christoph Krieger's original woodcut from Cesare Vecellio's "Costumes anciens et modernes" published in Paris between 1859-1860. This image not only provides insight into historical costume design but also serves as a reminder of the rich history and diversity found within societies around the world during that era. Captured beautifully by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this engraving allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and its role in preserving our collective history.
