EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Joseph Strutt showcases the costumes worn by Anglo Saxon women in the 9th and 10th centuries. The print, created in 1854, offers a glimpse into the fashion of this era through intricate hand-colored details. In the image, we see three individuals adorned in different garments that reflect their social status and cultural influences. On the left stands an elegant woman wearing a mantle, symbolizing her high rank and sophistication. Her attire is inspired by Prudentius' depiction of crossed veils from Cotton MS Cleopatra C viii. Next to her stands another woman dressed in a tunic with an embroidered border taken from Gregory's Book of Job found in Royal MS C vi. This garment highlights both her modesty and artistic flair. The engraving transports us back to a time when England was known as Great Britain or Britannia. It serves as a reminder of our rich history and cultural heritage. Joseph Strutt's Complete View of the Dress and Habits of the People of England provides valuable insights into how clothing played a significant role in expressing identity during this period. Through his meticulous attention to detail, he immortalizes these ancient costumes for future generations to appreciate. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to delve into the past while appreciating the artistry involved in capturing historical fashion trends.
