EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored engraving, titled 'Lady in Winter Dress, 1641, Reign of Charles I, from Hollar,' is a stunning representation of English civil costume during the early 17th century. The image, drawn by Charles Martin and expertly etched by Leopold Martin, is taken from the comprehensive work 'Civil Costume of England from the Conquest to the Present Period.' Published in London by Henry Bohn in 1842, this publication was a meticulously researched compilation of costumes drawn from various sources, including tapestries, monumental effigies, illuminated manuscripts, and portraits. The Martins, the sons of the renowned romantic artist and mezzotint engraver John Martin (1789-1854), were responsible for the creation of this enchanting work. Their dedication to capturing the intricacies and authenticity of the era's fashion is evident in this exquisite depiction of a lady donning a winter dress during the reign of Charles I. The delicate folds of her fur-trimmed gown, the intricate patterns of her undergarments, and the elaborate headdress adorned with pearls and feathers all serve to transport the viewer back in time. The Martins' mastery of the engraving process is evident in the fine details and rich textures of this image. The handcoloring further enhances the artwork, bringing the vibrant colors and intricate patterns of the lady's attire to life. This engraving is not only a testament to the artistic prowess of the Martins but also a valuable historical record of English civil costume during the reign of Charles I.
