EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Rustics of the 14th century" takes us back in time to the enchanting era of medieval England. Created in 1842 by Joseph Strutt, a renowned engraver, this handcoloured engraving showcases the rustic attire and habits of common folk during the 14th century. Intriguingly, Strutt drew inspiration from various historical manuscripts such as Guyart des Moulins Bible historiale and Matfre Ermengauds Breviari d Amor to depict three distinct characters. The first figure is a man with a cudgel, donning short pants and boots - an embodiment of strength and resilience. The second character stands out with his parti-coloured hose, wielding both a cudgel and dagger - perhaps symbolizing his dual roles as protector and warrior. Lastly, we see a man wearing a cap, hood, and tunic while holding another cudgel - representing humility amidst adversity. The attention to detail in this engraving is truly remarkable; every fold in their garments tells its own story. It serves as an invaluable resource for historians studying English fashion during that period. Displayed within this print are not only these fascinating figures but also glimpses into the rich tapestry of British culture throughout history. This artwork transports us back to an era when England was still known as Great Britain—a time when knights roamed the land and castles dotted the countryside. With its vibrant colors meticulously added by hand over Strutt's intricate engravings, this piece captures both the essence of medieval life and Joseph Strutt's artistic genius.
