EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts a fashionable woman of the court of King Charles II of England, dressed in the elegant attire of the late 17th century. The dress, adorned with intricate jewels and puff sleeves, is reminiscent of the fashionable styles worn by Anne Hyde, Duchess of York, and other noblewomen during Charles II's reign from 1660 to 1681. The low-cut neckline and voluminous ringlets cascading down her shoulders add to the opulence and allure of the outfit. The image is taken from the renowned publication "Costumes of British Ladies from the Time of William the First to the Reign of Queen Victoria," produced by Dickinson & Son in London in 1840. The meticulous attention to detail in the handcolouring of this lithograph allows the viewer to appreciate the intricacies of the fabric textures and the sparkle of the jewels adorning the dress. The historical significance of this print lies in its representation of the opulent and sophisticated fashion of the Restoration period in England. The intricate designs and luxurious materials used in the clothing of the time reflected the wealth and prosperity of the court, as well as the influence of European fashion trends. This print serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of grandeur and elegance in English history.
