Abstrakty
Most studies of fashion history are devoted to the fashion tendencies and the illustrated fashion magazines of European countries, especially France. In the context of European fashion history, fashion images evolved from drawings and oil paintings to graphic prints, which gradually gained dominance and became the most important sources of visual representation of fashion, printed separately or included in books and periodicals. Research on the fashion history in Latvia is mostly devoted to fashion in the twentieth century, when a new phase of fashion illustrations began, along with the reproduction of images and the active use of photographs. The period between the time of drawings and photographs, when fashion plates were executed in graphic printing techniques, is unexplored, therefore it is important to determine the distribution and content of illustrated fashion printed matter in the territory of nineteenth century Latvia. This article is dedicated to one of Riga’s early prints – Winterblüten: Ein Neuiahrs-Geschenk Riga’s Damen gewidmet von A. H. F. Oldekop; J. F. Krestlingk (hereinafter Winterblüten) – stored in the Rare Books and Manuscripts Collection of the National Library of Latvia. The publication of this book, supplemented with fashion plates, can be considered as a significant milestone in 1825, which marks the beginning of early illustrated fashion publications in the territory of Latvia. The aim of the article is to provide an overview of the content of the book Winterblüten, to examine the common and different features in the fashion plates and descriptions of Winterblüten and fashion magazines published in other European countries, to analyse the dresses of the Winterblüten fashion plates, providing a description of the fashion tendencies of the relevant time (styles of dresses and accessories, silhouettes, shapes, fabrics and materials, colours).
