EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1821 showcases the Hibernian male and female costumes during the post-Roman era. The print, created by Charles Hamilton Smith and handcolored by R. Havell, provides a glimpse into the traditional attire of the native inhabitants of Ireland. In this image, we see a man dressed in a fallin shirt, trousers, brogues (shoes), and a fringed plaid coat. He holds a short lance with confidence and pride. Standing beside him is a woman draped in a large piece of cloth adorned with fringe. Both figures exude an air of elegance and cultural significance. The background reveals an Irish cloghad tower or belfry, adding to the historical context of this depiction. This engraving is part of Samuel Meyrick's renowned work titled "Costume of the Original Inhabitants of the British Islands" which aimed to preserve and celebrate traditional dress customs. Through this artwork, we are transported back to 19th-century Europe when ancient traditions were still cherished and passed down through generations. The intricate details captured in this print allow us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the rich history behind these costumes. As we admire this enchanting portrayal, let us remember that clothing can serve as more than just fabric; it carries stories, traditions, and cultural identities that deserve recognition and appreciation for years to come.
