Habit of a Minim

by Thomas Jefferys

Relive the period of the middle 1700s through this rare print from Thomas Jefferys' landmark treatise on world clothing. In this print, we see the representation of a Minim—a practitioner of the Roman Catholic "Order of Minims"—who is distinguished by his devotion to humility and simplicity ("smallest") lifestyle.

This is an engraving done with the same finesse for which Thomas Jefferys was acclaimed as "Geographer to King George III." Ideal as a collection for historians of religious orders and Georgian copperplate engravings.
