[RIETER, Jacob (1758-1823) and Johannes SENN (1780-1861)]

Danske nationale Klaededragter. Copenhagen: Rothes Boghandling [1805-1806].

Very rare suite of prints depicting Denmark’s national costumes. Only one complete copy is held by a public institution, that being the national Library of Stockholm. Rieter and Senn were both born and educated in Switzerland and arrived in Copenhagen in 1804, where they began completing costume studies in Zealand, the Western islands and Holstein. This series of costume plates is divided into 2 sections: the first shows Copenhagen (with Amager) and Zealand costumes; the latter records the costume of South Jutland (Holstein and the North Frisian islands). Rieter left Copenhagen in 1805, leaving Senn to complete the suite of prints. See J. Senn and C.W. Eckersberg, Kobenhavnske Drager Omkring 1810. Bobins II, 411; Colas 2557; Lipperheide Haa 11.



Octavo (291 x 189mm). 72 engraved plates, coloured by a contemporary hand (light spotting). Modern dark red morocco with gilt decoration to covers, spine and turn-ins, 12 original letterpress wrappers preserved and bound in, contemporary annotation on part titles (letterpress wrappers trimmed by modern binding affecting contemporary annotations); contained in marble paper slipcase (extremities lightly rubbed).
