About This Item
Zürich, Orell, Füssli and Comp., c. 1818. With 60 orig. handcolored costume plates with their silk papers. 223 pp. incl. French and German title-page. 12mo (130 x 90 mm). Contemporary green boards, back gilt (joints slightly rubbed). Zürich, Orell, Füssli and Comp., (c. 1818). A nice and clean copy of a famous collection of Swiss costume engravings in their orig. handcoloring known as "der kleine Trachtenkönig". These plates with their delicate figures appeared first in chronological order in the 'Helvetischen Almanach', which Orell, Füssli and Compagnie published. Later they were used in the present edition on larger paper. Each of the 60 color plates depict a single person in the typical clothing of a valley of a larger region of Switzerland. Since apparently no picture was available of a Geneva costume this canton is not represented. The accompanying text is both German and French. - Lonchamp 674; Colas 1654; cf. Lipperheide Ga 25 (1811 ee. with only 50 plates). COSTUMES / MODE ; HELVETICA: ALLGEMEIN ;
