The print showcases a variety of traditional attire from Java, Siam (now Thailand), and Jaffna, Ceylon (modern-day Sri Lanka). It is an illustration for "Zur Geschichte der Kostume" (Braun & Schneider, c 1895), providing a glimpse into the rich history of Asian theatre. The image depicts both men and women dressed in elaborate garments that reflect their respective cultures. The actresses don elegant dresses adorned with intricate patterns and accessorized with headdresses that exude elegance and grace. Meanwhile, the male actors are seen wearing striking masks and captivating outfits that showcase their theatrical prowess. These costumes not only serve as a form of entertainment but also represent national pride and cultural heritage.
