EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "Wife of a Citizen of London, 1643" offers a glimpse into the fashion and social history of the 17th century. Created by Wenceslaus Hollar, this print showcases the exquisite attire worn by an English woman during this era. The subject is depicted from behind, allowing us to admire her stunning ensemble in full detail. She wears a lace collar that frames her neck elegantly while adding a touch of refinement to her appearance. Her high-heeled shoes accentuate her posture and add height to her figure. A wide-brimmed hat sits atop her head, shielding her face from the sun while also serving as a fashionable accessory. The coat she wears drapes gracefully over her shoulders and falls delicately around her body, emphasizing both style and modesty. This print is part of "Theatrum Mulierum or Aula Veneris" which features various fashion plates illustrating the costumes worn by women in England and Europe at that time. It provides valuable insights into the clothing choices made by individuals belonging to different social classes during this period. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to witness not only the beauty but also gain an understanding of how societal norms influenced fashion trends centuries ago. This etching serves as a testament to Hollar's talent for capturing historical moments through his artistry.
