An Ancient Habit of a Virgin of Friesland

by Thomas Jefferys

Time travel into the mid-1700s with this striking illustration by Thomas Jefferys, the Geographer to King George III, titled "An Ancient Habit of a Virgin of Friesland". The plate is not only an illustration of clothing but rather a detailed documentation of Frisian culture.

The image features a young lady dressed in the simple yet unique attire worn by women from this region. Jefferys' work was groundbreaking during his time, as he attempted to create a pictorial documentation of the "habits" (clothing) of the world in great detail. This plate acts as a link between the Renaissance period and the growing interest of the traveler in the 18th century.
