Title: 16th century costume books - free & online
Post by: Vern on August 15, 2013, 08:01:23 PM

Apologies if they've been mentioned before, but they are new to me (& just appeared in my fb feed)

Trachtenbuch (http://dlib.gnm.de/item/Hs22474/1/html) by Christoph Weiditz and published around 1530-1540 (thanks to GNM digital library)


Códice de trajes (http://bibliotecadigitalhispanica.bne.es/view/action/singleViewer.do?dvs=1376593238749~446&locale=en_GB&VIEWER_URL=/view/action/singleViewer.do?&DELIVERY_RULE_ID=10&frameId=1&usePid1=true&usePid2=true) published around 1529-1547(?) (thanks to Biblioteca Nacional de España)

Enjoy, I know I am :D

Thanks for making this resource available to us.  Plenty of good images here for us fans of the 16th century.

Thank you - I've passed the links on to Glynis (she's doing a costume degree).

17th C rather than 16th - if anyone finds any good links to pictures of Catharine of Braganza she would be very grateful.
