Second edition, greatly enriched, of this major collection of the history of the costume book, copy elegantly bound by Derome. With the great discoveries and the commercial and diplomatic links that were being forged, Europe was becoming increasingly curious about other cultures. Picturesque costume books were then particularly in Vogue , particularly in the Venice region, where several titles appeared in the second half of the 16th century. Vecellio's collection is probably the most famous example of this production. This second edition is considerably enriched compared to the previous one, with just under a hundred additional plates. Brunet, Suppl. II, col. 852; Colas, II, 2977; von Liepperheide, No. 22; Carboni and Kennedy, “Islamic Art and Culture: The Venetian Perspective.” in Heilbru.

Extremely rare wood engraving published in 1598 in Venice in Italy on an inhabitant of Damascus in Syria (title of the engraving Donna Damascena). This extraordinary testimony to costumes and fashion is certainly one of the first iconographic representations of the inhabitants of Armenia in the 16th century.

This exceptional engraving is taken from the rare work of Vecellio Cesare published in 1598 in its second edition. On the back of the engraving a text in Latin and Italian which does not necessarily correspond to the image.
