This chromolithograph, titled 'Woman from Augsburg in mid 18th century fashion,' showcases the elegant and intricate attire of a woman from the city of Augsburg during the mid-18th century. The image, created by the renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, offers a glimpse into the opulent and ornate fashion trends of the time. The woman in the illustration is depicted wearing a voluminous, high-waisted gown adorned with intricate lace and floral patterns. Her hat, also adorned with lace and flowers, sits atop her curled and powdered hair. Hanging from her waist, a silver cutlery case adds a practical yet stylish touch to her outfit. The silver knife cases, meticulously detailed in the illustration, are a testament to the importance of dining etiquette and the role of silverware in 18th-century society. The illustration, lithographed by Joh. Klipphahn and published by Heinrich Keller, is a stunning example of the intricate detail and vibrant colors that characterized chromolithographs of the late 19th century. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck's expertise in medieval and historical costumes, appliances, and art is evident in the accuracy and authenticity of the depiction. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and culture of the past, transporting us back to a time of elegance and refinement.
