EDITORS COMMENTS
Slingsby Bethell, Esq., a prominent figure of the 17th century, is depicted in this exquisitely handcolored engraving as he proudly dons the ceremonial robe of a Sheriff of London. The year is 1680, and Bethell's regal attire reflects the grandeur and opulence of the era. The scarlet robe, trimmed with fur, is a symbol of his high office, while the pink stockings and buff shoes add a touch of elegance. The intricate detailing of the robe, from the delicate folds to the intricate patterns, is a testament to the skill of the engravers, Charles and Leopold Martin. The Martin brothers, sons of the renowned artist and mezzotint engraver John Martin, meticulously drew the costumes from a range of sources, including tapestries, monumental effigies, illuminated manuscripts, and portraits. This illustration is taken from their comprehensive work, 'Civil Costume of England from the Conquest to the Present Period.' The historical significance of this image lies not only in its representation of Bethell's position as a Sheriff of London but also in its contribution to the preservation of English fashion history.
