EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the portrait of George Percy, the second Governor of Virginia, taken in the early 17th century. The image captures him wearing a full shirt made of Holland linen, which was commonly worn underneath slashed doublets during that time period. The Vandyke collar and cuffs he sports were fashionable during the reign of King Charles I. George Percy (1580-1632) was not only an English explorer but also an accomplished author. Serving as one of the early Colonial Governors of Virginia, he played a significant role in shaping American history. This portrait is featured in Elisabeth McClellan's book "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800" published by Tudor Publishing Company in New York back in 1937. The print itself is an engraving from that era, providing us with a glimpse into the fashion and style prevalent at Jamestown, Virginia during its colonial days. It reflects both British influence and Dutch fabric choices seen through George Percy's attire. As we admire this historic image, it reminds us not only of George Percy's important contributions but also serves as a testament to the rich heritage and cultural exchange between England and America during this period.
