Omnivm fere gentivm nostrae aetatis habitvs, nvnqvam ante hac aediti
Omnivm fere gentivm nostrae aetatis habitvs is a 1563 Venetian costume book printed by Ferando Bertelli and engraved by Enea Vico, presenting dress of many peoples of the mid-sixteenth century for a general readership of artists and collectors. Each plate shows a single standing figure in full length against a bare ground, with a labelled cartouche naming the nation, so a designer can read silhouettes, layered garments, headwear and accessories as a catalogue of regional costume.
