by Thomas Jefferys

The Bridal Habit of a Lady of Cologne (1577) depicts a beautiful example of the fashion from the late Northern Renaissance period. The dress that has become immortalized through the engravings made by Thomas Jefferys in the 18th century demonstrates the connection between civic pride, noble modesty, and skillful textile techniques of the period.

In 1577, Cologne was a city known for its rich trading activities and deep spirituality. For a noble bride, such clothes would be characterized by elegance.
