"Omnium fere gentium nostrae aetatis habitus, nunquam ante hac aediti" is a 1569 illustration created by Ferando Bertelli. This artwork is a blank page and may have been a part of a larger book about costumes. It is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection. The piece is 275 mm high and 200 mm wide. The piece is a prime example of early book illustration. This simple image is a fascinating historical artifact.
