A costume plate book of fifty hand-coloured engravings recording regional dress across the Habsburg lands, compiled by Antoine-François Bertrand de Molleville with English and French text translated by R. C. Dallas, printed by W. Bulmer for W. Miller in London in 1804 for collectors and readers curious about foreign dress. Each plate sets one standing figure against a light landscape with cottages, trees and hills, the clothing given in flat bright colour with fine outline; useful for pattern, colour pairings and isolated figures on open ground.
