Latin was predominantly spoken in southern Europe until around 1750, making this feature special.The stays have undergone some repairs over the years, including patches of blue and pink silk fabric on the front and a small one on the back. Another remarkable feature is the large number of 31 hand-embroidered eyelets on each side at the back.This is a truly unique item, seldom found outside of museums and private collections, offering a rare opportunity to own an 18th-century museum piece.
