Famed Hollywood costume designer Madame Karinska took much of her inspiration from "A Collection of the Dresses of Different Nations, Ancient and Modern;" Panteek is pleased to bring you the same inspiring figures of fashions worn by English, French and other European nobility.

Thomas Jefferys (1757-1772) based the engravings on portraits created by master painters, including Hans Holbein the Younger, Antoon van Dyck (known in England as Sir Anthony Vandyke), and Wenzel Hollar. The stunning originally hand-colored images have made this work a favorite; several plates from these have appeared on educational television, including the BBC television series "Through the Looking Glass - a History of Dress."

The prints in this collection come from volume II, printed in 1757.  They are in excellent condition, with the beautiful original hand coloring typical of the 1700's on a thick chain lined ivory paper.  On a few, there is a small thin area where an inscription has been removed, mostly imperceptible.   Each print measures approximately 12" by 9 1/4."
