EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back to the early 17th century in Germany, showcasing the distinctive attire of both men and women during this period. The men, dressed in the height of fashion, don elegant doublets with intricately tabbed borders and high standing collars. Their voluminous hose or breeches are held up by garters, and they wear shoes adorned with roses, adding a touch of elegance to their outfit. A cloak completes the ensemble, providing both protection from the elements and a sense of sophistication. The woman in the photograph is equally captivating, her bodice and over-skirt expertly arranged to reveal the layers of her petticoat beneath. Her garments are adorned with tabs, adding texture and visual interest to the outfit. The ruff around her neck, a popular accessory during this time, frames her face and completes the look. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of the townsfolk during the early 17th century in Germany. The intricate details of their clothing not only reflect the fashion trends of the time but also provide insight into the social and cultural norms of the era. The use of natural materials, such as wool and linen, and the attention to detail in the construction of these garments demonstrate the skill and craftsmanship of the artisans of the time. The photograph, dated circa 1615, is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Germany during this period. It invites us to explore the world of the past and appreciate the beauty and intricacy of the clothing worn during this time.
