Gallery of Late-Seventeenth-Century Costume The artistic legacy of AlphonseThis volume reprints the celebrated collection of costume plates created in 1694 by noted 17th century Dutch engraver Caspar Luyken. Executed with remarkable finesse, the superb illustrations depict a wide range of social classes: royalty, courtesans, merchants, laborers, military officers, ladies, gentlemen, soldiers, and a host of other figures representing varied races and countries. (A number of the subjects were drawn in their everyday milieu.)
