An 1886 facsimile edition of Anton Möller's 1601 Danzig women's costume book, reproducing 20 woodcuts of Danzig women and girls (matrons, brides, widows, servants, brewer's maids, fishwives) with their original Latin and German verse captions. The editor A. Bertling adds an introduction on Danzig's trade and art around 1600, Möller's life and works, the woodcutter, and the Spanish-style dress with fur trimmings, ruffs and cloaks. It closes with a list of the drawings and printing credits. Useful for historians of dress and costume, with some mention of textile and fur use.
