EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored engraving depicts King Edward VI of England (1537-1553), as depicted in Hans Holbein's famous portrait housed at Christ's Hospital. The young monarch, dressed in the fashion of the 16th century, wears an embroidered slashed tunic with intricate designs and a mantle draped over his shoulders. Edward's stockings and shoes are also visible, adding to the authenticity of the image. The illustration is taken from Charles Martin's "Civil Costume of England from the Conquest to the Present Period," published in London by Henry Bohn in 1842. The Martins, father and sons, were renowned artists and engravers of their time. Charles drew the costumes based on various sources, including tapestries, monumental effigies, illuminated manuscripts, and portraits. Edward VI's attire reflects the opulence and elegance of the Tudor era. The slashed tunic, a popular style during this period, features deep vertical slashes that reveal the undergarment, adding a sense of sophistication and refinement. The mantle, draped over the king's shoulders, is a sign of his royal status and authority. The meticulous attention to detail in this handcolored engraving allows us to gain a deeper understanding of the fashion and history of the 16th century. The image serves as a testament to the artistic prowess of the Martins and their dedication to accurately capturing the essence of the past.
