This chromolithograph, titled "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 18th Century," showcases a fascinating snapshot of fashion from 1786. The image, published by Heinrich Keller and lithographed by Joh. Klipphahn under the direction of Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, offers a rich and intriguing portrayal of both men's and women's attire during this period. On the left, a woman is depicted in a redingote, a long, fitted coat with a waistcoat and petticoat beneath. The redingote was a popular choice for women during the late 18th century, offering both style and functionality. The woman wears her hair in a simple yet elegant updo, adorned with a delicate headpiece. She also dons a shawl, a fashionable accessory that added warmth and sophistication to any outfit. On the right, a woman in English fashion is depicted wearing a gown with a low neckline and a shawl draped over her shoulders. The English fashion, characterized by its simplicity and elegance, was a popular choice among the upper classes during this time. The young man in the foreground wears a suit, complete with a waistcoat, breeches, and a cravat. He holds a sword, a common accessory for men during this period, signifying both status and protection. The young man in the background is shown in a neglige, a loose-fitting nightgown. The neglige was a popular choice for men during the 18th century, offering both comfort and style. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this chromolithograph provide a captivating glimpse into the world of fashion during the late 18th century, offering a fascinating look into the past.
