EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 15th century, offering a glimpse into the lives of stewards and serving men. The image, originally published in 1910 by Emily Jessie Ashdown, showcases the distinctive attire and accessories worn by these individuals during that era. In the foreground stands the steward, holding a rod of office as a symbol of his authority. His companions, also dressed in pied hose and sugar-loaf caps, stand beside him. These garments were characteristic of medieval England and reflect their occupation as servants. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element from their tights to headgear has been meticulously captured. This illustration was part of Mrs Charles H Ashdown's book titled "British Costume during 19 Centuries" which aimed to document historical dress throughout Britain's history. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back centuries ago when such clothing was commonplace. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and how fashion has evolved over time. Emily Jessie Ashdown's work allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship involved in creating these outfits but also provides insight into the social structure and occupations prevalent during this period. It is through prints like these that we can better understand our past and gain a deeper appreciation for those who came before us.
