Deutliche Vorstellung der Nürnbergischen Trachten in Kupfer gestochen mit feinen Farben erleuchtet und anjetso mit den nothigsten Erklärungen kürzlich versehen
A costume book printed at Nuremberg in 1766 by Johann David Tyroff and the heirs of Christoph Weigel, reissuing Caspar Luiken's copperplate series of Nuremberg dress for a general audience of collectors and readers. The four plates show standing figures in full length against plain landscape or townscape backdrops, with hand-coloured clothing in red, green, black and pink and German captions beneath; one plate is a pale uncoloured wash. A designer might take the costume silhouettes, layered coats, collars and hats as a reference for period figure types.
