EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored engraving, created by Charles and Leopold Martin in 1842, depicts Elizabeth of York (1466-1503), the beloved queen consort of King Henry VII (1457-1509) of England. The image is taken from Civil Costume of England from the Conquest to the Present Period, a comprehensive and meticulously researched work that drew inspiration from various sources including tapestries, monumental effigies, illuminated manuscripts, and portraits. Elizabeth is shown here in the full splendor of her regal attire, dressed in a sumptuous robe adorned with intricate embroidery and trimmed with luxurious fur. The voluminous skirt of her gown sweeps the floor, reflecting the fashion trends of the late 15th century. The queen's elegant and refined appearance is reminiscent of the portraits attributed to Hans Holbein the Younger, who is known for his mastery of capturing the subtle details and expressiveness of his subjects. Elizabeth's significance in English history lies in her role as the daughter of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville, and her marriage to Henry VII, which united the houses of York and Lancaster and marked the end of the Wars of the Roses. Her reign, marked by peace and stability, is considered a pivotal moment in the history of the Tudor dynasty. This stunning illustration, produced by the talented Martin brothers, offers a captivating glimpse into the fashion and elegance of the late medieval period, and serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the rich history of English royalty.
