King, queen, and court, c1450, (1910)
King, queen, and court, c1450, (1910). The turban headdress was in vogue for a considerable period, and was undoubtedly based on an Oriental model, as during the early part of its use a very common ornament for its decoration was the crescent which appears to point to a Turkish origin. It was of light construction despite its bulk, composed of a wire framework over which was stretched silk or other material, of the richest description. Illustration from British Costume during 19 Centuries by Mrs Charles H Ashdown, (London, 1910)

The king stands tall wearing a majestic crown while his queen exudes elegance with her ornate dress and headdress. The turban headdress worn by the queen was undoubtedly influenced by Oriental fashion trends of that time. Its light construction belies its impressive size, featuring a wire framework covered in luxurious silk or other exquisite materials. A crescent ornament adorns the headdress, hinting at its possible Turkish origin. Every detail in this illustration from British Costume during 19 Centuries is meticulously captured by Emily Jessie Ashdown's skilled hand. The fur-trimmed garments of both men and women reflect the opulence associated with royalty during the fifteenth century. As we delve into this snapshot of history, we are transported to an enchanting world where kings ruled over vast kingdoms and queens were adorned with extravagant attire. This print not only captures the essence of medieval fashion but also provides insight into cultural influences that shaped England's sartorial choices during that period.
