EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Habit of a Merchants Wife in Holland in 1640" offers us a glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of Dutch women during the 17th century. The print, created by an anonymous English artist from the 18th century, showcases the intricate details of this merchant's wife's attire. Dressed in a beautifully embroidered gown with puffed sleeves and a high collar, she exudes elegance and sophistication. Her ruff adds an air of refinement to her ensemble, while her overall apron hints at her involvement in trade and commerce. With a basket on one arm and a bag slung over her shoulder, it is clear that she plays an active role in supporting her husband's business endeavors. The artist has skillfully captured every fold and texture of her clothing, allowing us to appreciate the craftsmanship involved in creating such garments. This illustration comes from "Recueil des Habillements de Differentes Nations" published by Thomas Jefferys in London in 1757. It draws inspiration from renowned artists like Holbein, Vandyke, Hollar, among others. As we gaze upon this enchanting image from centuries past, we are transported back to a time when fashion was not only about personal style but also reflected one's social status and occupation. Through this engraving, we gain insight into the sartorial choices made by Dutch merchants' wives during this period – their attention to detail evident through their carefully selected accessories and meticulously tailored clothing
