Costumes of the Prado, 1845. Creator: Smyth
Costumes of the Prado, 1845. Inhabitants of Madrid:we see the mantilla, in all its national varieties. Then, we have the military uniform, and the cloak...the passion of the people for being well-dressed is incipiently illustrated...The prevalence of dark colours is remarkable; black having always keen the favourite, the national colour of Spain. On the general character of Spain Costumes, we borrow the following lively page from Mr. Fords admirable " Handbook of Spain" : " The gentlemen in their capas mingle with the ladies in their mantillas, the white-kilted Valencian contrasts with the velveteen glittering Andalucian; the sable-clad priest with the soldier; the peasant with the muleteer: all meet on perfect equality...and all conduct themselves with equal decorum, good breeding, and propriety". From " Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII
