Moscow Gentlewoman Robe Coat Head Wrap 1779 antique Ethnic Costume Dress print

Scarce and charming original antique Costume print.

In Good or better antiquarian condition, surface remains mostly clean, some light old dampstaining (should be visible within scan if it exists on sheet), light minor age dustiness, small age spotting, gentle overall light age wear, small age blemishes- all of which add visual character.

Overall the sheet remains clean and attractive for a print more than 200 years old.

Please inspect zoom scan closely. Any noteworthy flaws to the printed surface area should be visible within the enlargable scan provided.

[note: We grade very conservatively and always seek to disclose any noteworthy flaws. We are doing our best to show & describe this item so you are happy when it arrives].

Despite any age flaws, the printed area remains visually pleasing. The print has a "noble" antiquarian feel to it, and remains well preserved.

If we were discussing old coins, we would be discussing circulated silver coinage of this era, the type now age worn from circulation but still nice, basically well preserved, overall clean, with a noble appearance of genuine age, basically still attractive and worthy of ownership despite any flaws.

An appealing, uncommon and interesting antique image that any collector, dealer or institution would be happy to own or display. Could also readily be collected in a personal scrapbook album or given as a present.

Sheet measures c. 8 5/8" W x 13 3/8" H.

Engraved area measures c. 5 3/4" W x 8 1/4" H.
