EDITORS COMMENTS
Anne Stanhope, Countess of Chesterfield, elegantly depicted in this handcolored engraving from the "Civil Costume of England from the Conquest to the Present Period" by Charles and Leopold Martin, is a striking representation of 17th century fashion and opulence. The portrait, based on the original painting by Anthony Van Dyck during the reign of Charles I, showcases Anne's regal presence and refined beauty. Anne's golden dress, adorned with intricate patterns and delicate embroidery, is a testament to the extravagance and craftsmanship of the time. The low-cut bodice, with its delicate lace trim, accentuates her graceful neckline, while the long, flowing sleeves add an air of elegance and sophistication. The pink hue of the dress adds a touch of femininity and vibrancy to the image. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving is evident in the intricate patterns and textures of Anne's dress, as well as the delicate folds and drapery of the fabric. The engraving process, which involved etching the design onto a copper plate and then hand-coloring each print, allowed for a high level of detail and precision. This illustration provides a valuable glimpse into the fashion and style of the 17th century, a time of great artistic and cultural innovation in England. The Martin brothers' dedication to accurately depicting historical costumes from various sources, including tapestries, monumental effigies, illuminated manuscripts, and portraits, makes this engraving an invaluable resource for those interested in fashion history and the art of the period.
