But it looks like 16th century Norse (?) drawings of clothing.
Check out the pics near the end of women with pipes in their
mouths and spinning in hand. At least, I think it's a pipe, it's
a stick with fire coming out of it.
Let me try that again. It mangled the link.

It isn't a pipe -- it's a light source, probably something like a
rush light, but held in the mouth rather than in a fixed holder. The
page title is something like "16th c. Italian prints of Norsemen" --
the colored prints are all from Vecellio, apparently, and towards the
bottom of the page there are some comparative examples from a book by
Olaus Magnus, suggesting that it may have been Vecellio's source for
some of the images.
