This collection, published in 1581, offers a comprehensive visual record of the diverse clothing styles worn by various social classes and ethnic groups during the sixteenth century.
The 32nd plate in this series, often referred to as "Sixteenth Century Costumes from 'Omnium Poene Gentium Imagines' 32," is particularly noteworthy for its meticulous representation of the period's attire.

His work provides invaluable insights into the cultural and social nuances of the 16th century, reflecting the sartorial distinctions between different regions and communities.
De Bruyn's engravings serve not only as artistic achievements but also as historical documents that offer a window into the past. They reveal the influences of trade, politics, and cultural exchange on fashion, illustrating how clothing was used to signify status, profession, and identity. The detailed costumes depicted in plate 32 showcase a range of garments, from the opulent attire of the nobility to the more modest dress of the common folk, highlighting the diversity and complexity of sixteenth-century fashion.
