EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Habit of a Citizens Wife of London in 1640" offers us a glimpse into the fashion and style of women during the 17th century. The print showcases an English School's interpretation of the attire worn by a citizen's wife in London at that time. The woman depicted exudes elegance and sophistication, adorned in her exquisite ensemble. Her gown is beautifully crafted with intricate details, reflecting the fashion trends prevalent during this period. The dress drapes gracefully around her figure, highlighting her refined taste. A notable feature is her elaborate hat, which adds an air of grandeur to her overall appearance. Adorned with delicate lace and feathers, it serves as both a fashionable accessory and a symbol of social status. The engraving also draws attention to other elements such as the muff she carries delicately in one hand and the ruff adorning her neck. These accessories further emphasize the opulence associated with high society at that time. Interestingly, this illustration was included in Thomas Jefferys' publication "Recueil des Habillements de Differentes Nations". This compilation aimed to showcase various national costumes from different eras through drawings by renowned artists like Holbein, Vandyke, Hollar, among others. As we admire this fine art print from Fine Art Finder's collection provided by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to 17th-century London - where fashion played an essential role in defining one's identity within society.
