EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithograph captures the beauty and elegance of Ancient Greek female costume, as depicted by artist John Moyr Smith in the 19th century. The intricate details of the girls' clasp-fastened chitons are brought to life in this print, showcasing the traditional attire worn by women in ancient Greece.
The upper part of the garment is doubled over, creating a layered effect that adds depth and texture to their outfits. The girdle cinched at their waist goes over the two thicknesses of cloth, emphasizing their feminine silhouette and adding a touch of sophistication to their look.
As we admire this historical illustration, we are transported back in time to an era where clothing was not just functional but also a form of art. The delicate drapery and flowing lines of these garments speak to a culture that valued beauty and craftsmanship in every aspect of life.
Whether worn by ladies or young girls, these ancient Greek costumes exude grace and charm, reflecting the timeless appeal of classical fashion. This lithograph serves as a reminder of the enduring influence that Greek culture has had on European fashion throughout history.
