Weigel's Working Women
Jan. 28th, 2007 09:30 amUnlike a lot of other 16th century costume books I haven't seen Hans Weigel's Trachtenbuch from 1577 webbed in it's interity, just a few leaves here and there (marquise.de has a few for example.) I will not do that either. Not only for copyright reasons; it was reprinted by Verlag Walther Uhl in 1969, but also because scanning that many pictures is no fun. But I have scanned the prints of maids, peasants and artisan's wives.
It's all part of my documentation for the peasant outfit of course, but those photos will have to wait a little longer, Maja will soon wake up.
