EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 17th century, specifically during the English Civil War (1642-1651). Titled "The Gallery of Historic Costume: Some Dresses of Cavaliers and Roundheads" this illustration showcases the fashion styles worn by both sides during this tumultuous period in British history. The image is taken from a book called "The Romance of the Nation, Volume Two" edited by Charles Ray and published in London around 1934. Intriguingly, instructions are provided alongside the illustration on how to trace these figures onto thin paper, paste them onto cardboard, and cut them out. This suggests that readers were encouraged to create their own paper dolls representing characters from this era. The accompanying text also offers guidance on which colors to use for each costume. Through this unique blend of historical information and interactive playfulness, viewers are transported into a world where they can engage with history firsthand. It serves as a reminder of how clothing not only reflects societal norms but also plays a role in shaping identity during times of conflict. With its monochrome aesthetic capturing the essence of both past and present, this print allows us to appreciate the intricate details of these costumes while contemplating their significance within English history.
