EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 15th century, showcasing the intricate female headdresses of that era. The frontlet, depicted in this image from Emily Jessie Ashdown's book "British Costume during 19 Centuries" was a remarkable piece composed of rigid wire netting covered with black material. It elegantly passed over the head, allowing a small loop to appear on the forehead. One might wonder about the purpose behind such an elaborate design. The answer lies in its functionality - this unique frontlet aimed to alleviate strain on the hair caused by wearing the steeple headdress at an angle of 45 degrees from perpendicular. This ingenious solution demonstrates not only creativity but also practicality within medieval fashion. The monochrome aesthetic adds a touch of timelessness to this image, emphasizing its historical significance. As we gaze upon these female headdresses, we are transported back in time to England during the Middle Ages. The elegance and sophistication exuded by these women reflect both their status and their adherence to societal norms. Emily Jessie Ashdown's meticulous attention to detail allows us to appreciate every aspect of these headdresses - from their wimples and veils down to their geometric angles. Through her work, she brings forth a sense of admiration for British costume throughout centuries past.
