Bourgeois Pride and Princely Splendour.
Costumes from the Sixteenth to Eighteenth Century
20 April - 2 November 2008
The one I want the catalog for is at the bottom of the page. hsifeng and anjabeth, you need to take a look since it is German (Saxony) and the right time period and a man's complete outfit, tho the photo only shows the man's gown.
Courtly fashions of the Renaissance
This magnificent, densely pleated gown with fashionable puff and hanging sleeves was worn by the Elector Moritz of Saxony (1521-1553). A state costume in the heraldic colours of Saxony, its broad, square silhouette underlined the prince's masculinity, power and dignity. Together with the doublet, ample trunkhose, and yellow leather stockings, the gown constitutes the only such costume from the Renaissance to have been preserved in its entirety.
This is the one that I have the three views, front, side and back, in B&W images, from the book "Dress in the Court of King Henry VIII" that only had one sentence on it (and no other info). Now I think I know why, if this catalog discusses the full garments associated with it.
