Description: Fantastic book presenting hundreds of illustrations by two Polish artists from the 18th-19th century: J. Glogowski and K.W. Kielisinski. The book discusses the importance of the artistic works by these two artists as first-hand documentation of local costumes and traditions from various parts of Poland (some of which are today located in Ukraine). There are several introductory essays presenting the history and context in which these paintings and drawings were created, and additional discussion of Polish and Ukrainian ethnographic studies related to these artists and their environment. There is also a 40-page essay comparing hooded cloaks in Polish and Ukrainian costume and their development through history.
A note regarding condition: All of the costumes and textiles that I sell are vintage and have typically seen decades of use resulting in expected wear and tear that add to the history and authenticity of each piece. In case of above-average wear, I will mention any significant damages and heavy signs of use. Depending on the age, materials, and condition, I often hand-wash more durable, colorfast cotton and linen textiles, but embellished garments, heavier wool pieces or items made from silk or fine fabrics are sold in the original, unwashed condition. Small holes or stains, missing sequins/beads, worn trim, and other marks related to standard wear are common and do not detract from the value of most pieces. Please keep in mind that a vintage textile or garment in very good condition might still show signs of use, storage and age.
Not sure about the condition? Need more photos? Sure! Etsy allows up to 10 photos online, but I often have more images available so please send an e-mail request for more.
