Welcome to the 2006 H-COST Holiday Gift Excha
Are you thinking of Jessica McClintock? Not sure if that is the correct
spelling. I still have my Gunne Sax dress that I wore in junior high and my
daughter wore it in high school. I honestly think that dress was part of what
inspired me to learn more about real historic clothing.

Aarrgh. There was a female clothing designer in San Francisco in the
70s who made off-the-rack dresses in that "olde fashioned" look -
sort of Victorian, sort of "peasanty". She later made more
sophisticated prom dresses and wedding dresses inthe 80s and, i
think, 90s. But i'm drawing a blank o

The site is in Norwegian, but the colored illustrations are in Italian.
I'm not sure about the woodcuts other than to notice that the
illustrations seem to copy them. Perhaps they were the original
Norwegian, and some industrious Italian copied them into a book?
My personal favorite is the lng
Those are from Vecellio's Costume Book. A reprint is generally available from
Dover. He's better at the Italian stuff since he actually saw that and wasn't
just getting second hand reports on it. It also has his idea of clothing from
China and the Americas as well as most of Europe.

Thank you everybody--this is so interesting!
If you go to the bottom of the page and click on the right-hand link,

The color plates are from Vecellio's costume book, but the site and text
are Norweigian. The picture in question of the spinning woman has the
text attached in Italian and Latin, with a Norweigian translation on the
side.

It's the National Library of Norway. The manuscript in question is written
in Italian, while the site and possibly the translation of the MS is
written in Norwegian. I can't get that particular branch of the library
site to come up i
The text says that it's from Vecellio's costume book and shows (his
conception of) clothing in the Nordic areas.
Vecellio's is one of the famous costume books and the whole book can
probably be found online; it is, however, probably not very reliable
when it comes to clothing in the Nordic countrie
What I can glean is that these are from the Cesare Vecellio book "Degli
habiti antichi, et moderni diversi parti del Mondo libri due.
The second picture is Russian (a man from Bjarmeland (northern Russia?))
The next two are of Lappland (the one after appears to be Lappland but could
be Norwegian)
Fun with Google reveals that
Hradec Kralove is called City of Bohemia Queens.
The city is among the oldest Bohemian towns - historical sources
date it back to 1225. In the Middle Ages it was a dowry town of
Czech Queens. In the same time was built Cathedral of the Holy Spirit.

If you check closely, they are going to their post and saluting their

at that time. Interesting pictures.
