Geographische und Statistische Beschreibung der Insel Minorka: Mit sieben Kupfern und einer Landcharte
A 1786 German geographical and statistical description of the island of Minorca by Christoph Friedrich Heinrich Lindemann, held by Heidelberg University Library, illustrated with engraved plates of local costume types. The four engravings show Minorcan figures in dress: a nun-like woman with a veil and a long-handled staff beside a religious house, a veiled woman with a bundle and staff in a landscape, a veiled rider on a donkey carrying a pannier, and a man in a long coat and knee breeches striding with a cane. Designers could draw on their clean outline hatching and the strong silhouettes of the period costumes, with their layered skirts, veils and cloaks, for historical costume or regional character studies.
