EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored engraving, titled "Female Costume in the Reign of Henry VIII after Holbein," is a stunning representation of fashion during the Tudor era in England. The intricately detailed image was drawn by Charles Martin and expertly etched by his brother Leopold Martin, under the publishing house of Henry Bohn in London in 1842. The Martins meticulously researched their subject matter, drawing inspiration from a variety of sources including tapestries, monumental effigies, illuminated manuscripts, and portraits. Their work was part of a larger project, "Civil Costume of England from the Conquest to the Present Period," which aimed to document the evolution of English fashion throughout history. The female figure depicted in the engraving wears a sumptuous costume reminiscent of the style popularized during the reign of Henry VIII, with influences from the artistic genius of Hans Holbein the Younger. The voluminous gown, adorned with intricate patterns and rich fabrics, is accessorized with a fur-lined mantle and a jeweled headdress. The attention to detail in the costume, as well as the elegant pose and expressive face of the figure, speak to the skill and artistry of the Martins. This beautiful print offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the Tudor court, and serves as a testament to the enduring influence of Holbein's art on English fashion and culture.
