Die Waffenen vnde kleydung der Burgerey zu Antorff / Les armes et les habitz des Bourgeois danners

Engraving, part of 'Omnium pene Europae, Asiae, Aphricae atque Americae Gentium Habitus' (Costumes of the various nations of Europe, Asia, Africa and America), a series of prints representing figures from various parts of the world, engraved by Abraham de Bruyn and published by Joos de Bosscher in 1580.

This engraving represents the arms and costumes of Antwerp's bourgeoisie, in two rows of illustrations with labels; it is the last of three plates illustrating such costumes in the album.

On the first row, on the left, are three carriers of swords, holding large swords in their hands, and dressed with jerkins with broad skirts over doublets with long puff sleeves, padded hose, ruffs, and hats with large feathers. On the right are three halberdiers, dressed with jerkins over puff-sleeved doublets, ruffs, hats with feathers, and hose: two of them have padded hose, the other wears long, tight hose. They are armed with swords and halberds.

On the second row, on the left, is the provost, wearing a striped overcoat over a doublet, padded hose with stripes and dots, boots, and a hat with large feathers. On the center is a sergeant, wearing a striped jerkin over a doublet with long puff sleeves with polka dots, padded hose with a pattern of scrolling leaves, a ruff and a band across the chest. He holds his hat, decorated with large feathers, on his right hand. Next to him, the colonel wears a similar outfit, with an overcoat with diagonal stripes and lined with a pattern of lozenges, and with dark padded hose trimmed with three braids on the sides. On the right are four arquebusiers, wearing jerkins, doublets and hose, hats with feathers and ruffs, and armed with arquebuses and swords.
