EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored engraving, titled "Civil Costume of England from the Conquest to the Present Period," depicts a group of men dressed in the attire typical of the time of William the Conqueror, showcasing the fashion trends during the late 11th and early 12th centuries in England. The intricately detailed image, drawn by Charles Martin and etched by Leopold Martin, is a testament to the rich historical and artistic heritage of the era. The men in the print are dressed in hooded cloaks, tunics, and stockings, all essential elements of the clothing worn during this period. The hooded cloaks, often made of wool or fur, provided warmth and protection from the elements, while the tunics were typically made of linen or wool and reached down to the knees. The stockings, worn with the tunics, were made of wool and held up by garters. Charles and Leopold Martin, the sons of the renowned romantic artist and mezzotint engraver John Martin, created this masterpiece by meticulously studying various sources, including tapestries, monumental effigies, illuminated manuscripts, and portraits. The brothers' dedication to historical accuracy is evident in the authenticity of the costumes depicted in the print. Published in London by Henry Bohn in 1842, this engraving is a valuable resource for historians, artists, and anyone interested in the history of English fashion. The Martin brothers' work provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of clothing and the artistry of the time.
