Nederlandsche Kleederdragten naar de Natuur Geteekend ... Costumes des Pays-Bas. Amsterdam: Desguerrois & Co for Frans Buffa en Zonen, [1850-]1857. [With:] – Nederlandsche Zeden en Gebruiken. Amsterdam: Frans Buffa en Zonen, 1857-59.

Fine copies of first editions depicting costumes and customs of The Netherlands, in original parts as issued and in their most deluxe fully-coloured state and with ‘fijne kleuring’ [fine colouring] written on most front wrappers. The first, larger work is ‘the most variegated costume book of the Low Countries’ (Landwehr). Together, they provide a visual record of local dress and activities, such as a carnival, ice-skating, cheese-making, and a wedding, with several plates providing additional detail and accessories. The title-page announces it as the First Series; while no further series was published, the printed wrapper of the Zeden en Gebruiken describes itself as a supplement to the Kleederdragten. Bobins III, 993; Colas 333 (Costumes only); Landwehr 242, 243; Lipperheide Gb 59 (Costumes only).



Two works in 14 and 6 original parts, respectively, broadsheet folio (585 x 412mm). Text in Dutch and French. First work with title and contents leaf, each part with one descriptive text leaf and 4 plates totalling 56 plates; second work with one description text leaf and 3 plates in each part, totaling 18 plates; all lithographs, coloured by a contemporary hand, by R. de Vries Jr. Loose in original lithographic blue or buff wrappers, original burgundy roan-backed portfolio, title in gilt on upper cover (minor repairs to wrappers, portfolio with minor wear, missing ties); modern burgundy morocco-backed folding box.
