TRADITIONAL DRESS OF BRUNSWICK GERMANY - 1905 Antique Chromolithograph Print

This original 1905 chromolithograph presents traditional folk costumes from Brunswick (Braunschweig), Germany, captured with striking detail and soft color tones. The upper panel shows both men and women in formal attire, with tricorn hats, embroidered waistcoats, pleated skirts, and long outer garments that reflect 18th-century regional styles. Women's head coverings and aprons highlight domestic roles and customs, while the men's walking sticks and tailored coats suggest a status-conscious culture.

The lower panel illustrates additional variations in Brunswick dress, including more colorful and intricately patterned garments, particularly among the women. Note the variety in shawls, sleeves, and accessories, indicating differences in age, social role, or occasion. Published by Ernst Wasmuth A.-G. for Geschichte des Kostüms by Adolf Rosenberg, this chromolithograph is printed on heavyweight paper, blank on the reverse, and measures approximately 8.5 x 12 inches.
