The Costume Book of Lambert de Vos is a collection of vividly hand-painted illustrations completed in 1574 by Lambert de Vos, the appointed painter at the Habsburger embassy. Rich in color and intricate details, the book stands as a significant historical record that blends Eastern and Western influences to detail the fashion and societal norms of fifteenth-century Ottoman society. The album features 103 hand-painted illustrations that not only showcase the lavish pageantry of Sultanate ceremonial processions but also outline the rigid social hierarchy of the time, with figures arranged according to their social status, encompassing both the elite religious and secular figures as well as individuals from the middle and lower classes.
