EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of 14th-century fashion during the reign of Richard II. The detailed illustration, taken from "British Costume during 19 Centuries" by Mrs Charles H Ashdown in 1910, showcases various types of dress worn during this medieval period. In the image, a male figure stands on the left side, donning an elaborate costume complete with a cloak and hat. Suspended down his back is a dagger, highlighting the weaponry commonly carried by men at that time. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable, showcasing intricate sleeve designs and a hooded headdress. The monochrome aesthetic adds to the historical ambiance of the picture, transporting viewers back to England's rich past. It serves as a visual representation of how people dressed during this era and provides insight into their style choices. Emily Jessie Ashdown skillfully captured these elements through her artistic interpretation. Her work allows us to appreciate not only the clothing but also understand how it played a role in societal norms and cultural identity. This print offers an intriguing glimpse into English history while reminding us of our ancestors' creativity when it came to fashion expression. It serves as both an educational tool for historians and an aesthetically pleasing piece for art enthusiasts alike.
