The text says that they are hand-coloured woodcuts from the end of the 16th century, originally part of a large work by Vecillio (tDegli habiti antichi, et moderni di diversi parti del Modo libri due). It says that there were three editions of the work, all printed in Venice, and dating to 1590, 1598 and 1664. They don't know whether these particular images are from the 1590 or the 1598 edition, but aparently it's one of those.
