This etching, *Civis Londinensis Vxor* (Citizen's Wife), was created by Wenceslaus Hollar in 1643. It depicts a woman from London wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a fashionable, voluminous gown. Hollar was a prolific artist, known for his detailed illustrations of people, places, and everyday life. This print provides a glimpse into 17th-century London fashion and provides a valuable insight into the everyday lives of London citizens. *Civis Londinensis Vxor* is a quintessential example of Hollar’s skill and style.
