Russian Soldier IN 1598 Army Moscow Rare Engraving On Wood Venice Vecellio

Description: Extremely rare and magnificent wood engraving published in 1598 in Venice, Italy, of a Russian soldier. This extraordinary historical testimony is certainly one of the first iconographic representations of the military in Russia. The title of this engraving is “Habito di Moscovita à piedi armato” 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 correspond to the engraving. VECELLIO, Cesare (1521-1601). Habiti antichi et moderni di tutto il Mondo. Venice: Giovanni Bernardo Sessa, 1598. 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.
