"Old Costumes of the Polish Nobility" is a seminal work of visual ethnography by Polish artist Jan Lewicki. Published in the 19th century, the work is considered an important cultural document of Poland's past, offering elaborate illustrations and descriptions of various traditional costumes worn by the Polish nobility. Drawing from the period of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth era, Lewicki's catalog provides insights into the sartorial practices and tastes of the time, reflecting the socio-economic stratification, tastes, and cultural influences at play in the society.

The book is divided into several sections, each detailing types of nobility and their respective costumes. The garments are rendered in extraordinary detail, with thorough depictions of patterns, fabric textures, and color schemes, and are often accompanied by notes on their social significance. The precision in Lewicki's drawings makes the work not only aesthetically impressive, but also an invaluable reference for scholars of historical fashion, ethnographers, and designers.

"Old Costumes of the Polish Nobility" also features a written study examining the origins and evolution of these costumes. The context provided by Lewicki’s text helps elucidate the cultural influences, including Eastern and Western traditions, that shaped the clothing choices of the Polish nobility. His meticulous approach towards documentation served as a way of preserving a segment of Polish culture that was witnessing tremendous changes due to geopolitical shifts and modernization.

Today, "Old Costumes of the Polish Nobility," with its picturesque portrayals and comprehensive descriptions, is a vital resource for those delving into Polish history, sociology, and fashion studies. The work remains in print and is also accessible in many public and university libraries worldwide.
