EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The court of wards and liveries in the time of Queen Elizabeth I" offers a glimpse into the legal and fashion world of 16th-century England. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the intricate costumes worn by lawyers and officials during Queen Elizabeth I's reign. In this illustration for James Robinson Planche's book "A Cyclopaedia of Costume" we witness a scene from the Elizabethan era where lawyers are dressed in elaborate garments while attending court proceedings. The court of wards and liveries was a significant institution during that period, responsible for managing property rights and inheritance matters. The attire depicted here reflects both European influences and distinctive English fashion trends at the time. The detailed engravings highlight various styles of clothing, including ruffled collars, doublets with puffed sleeves, ornate hats adorned with feathers, and long cloaks embellished with intricate patterns. Not only does this image provide insight into legal practices during Queen Elizabeth I's reign but it also serves as a testament to the importance placed on appearance within society. Fashion played a crucial role in conveying one's status and identity during this period. As we gaze upon this historical artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to an era where law intertwined with style to create a visual spectacle that defined an entire epoch.
