16th century costume books - free & online

[Vern]

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

Trachtenbuch by Christoph Weiditz and published around 1530-1540 (thanks to GNM digital library)


Códice de trajes published around 1529-1547(?) (thanks to Biblioteca Nacional de España)

Enjoy, I know I am

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.
