EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored engraving depicts Robert Brauch, the Mayor of Lynn during the reign of King Edward III in 1349. The intricately detailed image is taken from "Civil Costume of England from the Conquest to the Present Period," a comprehensive work on English history and fashion created by the Martin brothers, Charles and Leopold. The Martins, known for their artistic talents, drew inspiration for this engraving from various sources including tapestries, monumental effigies, illuminated manuscripts, and portraits. Robert Brauch is depicted wearing the traditional attire of a medieval mayor, complete with a fur-lined robe and a tall, conical hat adorned with ermine trim. The elaborate design on the robe, featuring intricate patterns and geometric shapes, is a testament to the artistic skill of the Martins. The use of handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a stunning representation of the fashion and culture of the time. The Martins, sons of the renowned romantic artist and mezzotint engraver John Martin, were themselves accomplished artists and engravers. They dedicated themselves to creating an accurate and comprehensive record of English history and costume, drawing from a wide range of sources to create this intricate and detailed work. This engraving is a testament to their dedication and artistic talent, providing a glimpse into the fashion and culture of medieval England during the reign of King Edward III.
