EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored engraving, titled 'Civil Costume of England from the Conquest to the Present Period,' offers a fascinating glimpse into the male fashion trends during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1558-1603). Drawn by Charles Martin and etched by Leopold Martin, this rare print was published in London by Henry Bohn in 1842. The brothers, sons of the renowned romantic artist and mezzotint engraver John Martin, meticulously created this illustration based on various sources, including tapestries, monumental effigies, illuminated manuscripts, and portraits. The male figure depicted in the print is elegantly attired in the fashion of the late 16th century. He wears a quilted tunic, which was a popular choice during this period. The tunic is cinched at the waist by a belt, and is worn over a pair of breeches. The fashionable ruff, a stiff collar worn around the neck, adds an air of refinement to the ensemble. The figure also dons stockings and a cape, both essential items for keeping warm during the chilly English winters. The intricate details of the engraving are brought to life through the vibrant handcoloring, which adds depth and texture to the image. The use of muted earth tones and rich jewel tones perfectly captures the aesthetic of the Elizabethan era. This historical illustration provides a valuable record of the fashion trends of the past, allowing us to appreciate the elegance and sophistication of male attire during the time of Queen Elizabeth I. The Martin brothers' dedication to accuracy and attention to detail make this print a treasured resource for those interested in the history of fashion and English history more broadly.
