About this sheet

Pomeranian Traditional Costume, Weizacker, c.1875

This chromolithograph illustrates traditional costume from Weizacker in Pomerania, a Baltic-influenced region of northern Prussia. The richly colored garments, embroidered details, and distinctive accessories reflect ceremonial dress worn on special occasions.

Pomeranian costume is less frequently encountered than that of central German regions, adding to the interest and collectability of this plate. Kretschmer presents the figure with dignity and clarity, emphasizing form and ornament.

Published by J. G. Bach in Leipzig in the mid-1870s, the print forms part of a comprehensive survey of European regional dress.

Very good condition. Mild age toning to margins, colors fresh and vibrant.

FRAMING AND MATTING SUGGESTIONS:
Dark stained wood frame with a subtle ivory or light gray mat; works well alongside other Northern European costume prints.
