EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Costume of an ancient Roman plebeian man" takes us back in time to the 16th century. Created by Christoph Krieger and later engraved by Gerard Seguin and E. F. Huyot, this print showcases the attire of a common Roman man during ancient times. The plebeian man is depicted wearing a short tunic known as an exomide, which was commonly worn by lower-class citizens in Rome. His ensemble is completed with a pair of sandals, reflecting the simplicity and practicality of his clothing choices. The artwork is beautifully framed with intricate decorative details engraved by H. Catenacci and Fellmann, adding to its historical charm. This piece comes from Cesare Vecellio's renowned work "Costumes anciens et modernes" published between 1859-1860. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a distant era filled with rich history and cultural significance. It serves as a reminder of the diverse range of costumes that have shaped human civilization throughout centuries. This remarkable print captures not only the essence of ancient Rome but also highlights the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating such engravings during the 19th century. It stands as both a testament to our fascination with antiquity and as a tribute to those who dedicated their talents to preserving history through art.
