EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Joseph Strutt takes us back to the 8th century, offering a glimpse into the summer dress and travel habits of Anglo-Saxon ladies. The print showcases two women, each representing different aspects of their attire during this era. The first lady is dressed in a delightful summer outfit adorned with a veil and mantle. Her ensemble exudes elegance and grace, reflecting the fashion sensibilities of the time. The intricate details captured by Strutt's handcoloured engraving highlight the craftsmanship involved in creating such garments. In contrast, the second woman is depicted wearing travel clothes or winter attire with remarkably long sleeves. This practical choice demonstrates how functionality was just as important as style for these medieval women when it came to dressing for colder weather or embarking on journeys. Taken from Old English Hexateuch, Cotton MS Claudius B iv. , this engraving offers valuable insights into historical costume design and British culture during that period. It serves as a reminder of how fashion has evolved over centuries while also showcasing England's rich sartorial heritage. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their collection through Fine Art Finder, allowing art enthusiasts to appreciate and explore this fascinating depiction of 8th-century fashion.
