Engravings of Archimboldo-esque trade costumes Larmessin, c.1700 LARMESSIN, Nicolas de (1634-1694). 19 engravings from Costumes grotesques [Paris, c.1700]. Plates from Larmessin’s famous suite of Archimboldo-esque trade costumes. Each engraving depicts a tradesperson or street vendor dressed in the accoutrements of his or her occupation, with their clothing (and sometimes their bodies) constructed out of the very tools of their trade. This set is from the later issue, without backdrop details. These prints are most often encountered as single sheets. See Lipperheide 1971 and Colas 1779 (earlier issues). Folio album (356 x 260mm). 19 engravings only, mounted on paper sheets (trimmed to image area and caption, 266 x 186mm; some staining, tears, and repairs with loss). Modern brown half cloth over marbled boards (boards scuffed).
