EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored engraving, titled 'Women's Costume from the Reigns of Edward I and II (1272-1327)', is an exquisite example of historical fashion from the Martin Brothers' seminal work, 'Civil Costume of England from the Conquest to the Present Period'. Drawn by Charles Martin and etched by Leopold Martin, this print was published in London by Henry Bohn in 1842. The Martins meticulously researched their subjects, drawing inspiration from a variety of sources including tapestries, monumental effigies, illuminated manuscripts, and portraits. Their dedication to historical accuracy is evident in the intricate details of this women's costume, which is adorned with elaborate embroidery, fur trimmings, and a voluminous gown. Charles and Leopold Martin were the sons of the renowned romantic artist and mezzotint engraver, John Martin (1789-1854). The brothers continued their father's legacy, becoming respected artists and engravers in their own right. Their collaborative work on 'Civil Costume of England' showcases their exceptional artistic skills and their deep knowledge of English history. This print is a testament to the Martin Brothers' commitment to preserving the rich cultural heritage of England through their art. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and style of the medieval period, transporting us back in time to the reigns of Edward I and II.
