This exquisite 19th century costume plate, titled "Italienisches Madchen aus Dignano in Istrien" (Italian Girl from Dignano in Istria), captures the essence of rural life in Italy during this era. The intricately detailed engraving on lithograph paper showcases the traditional attire of a young Italian woman. She is depicted wearing a long, colorful skirt with a fitted bodice and an apron adorned with intricate floral patterns. Her headdress, adorned with a delicate ribbon and a pair of earrings, completes her rustic yet elegant look. The woman is shown standing next to a carriage, with a pair of high-heeled boots, or carriage boots, peeking out from under her skirt. The lettering at the bottom of the plate indicates the location as Dignano in Istria, a region in present-day Croatia that was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire during the 19th century. This costume plate, created in the 19th century, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Europe during this period. It provides a glimpse into the fashion trends and regional differences that existed during this time, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of historical artwork or fashion plates. The plate, which is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcases the attention to detail and craftsmanship that was common in 19th century engraving. The use of line engraving techniques creates a textured and three-dimensional effect, adding depth and dimension to the image. Overall, this costume plate is a beautiful and intriguing piece of art and history, and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that exists in Europe and beyond.
