1500 Hose Page Boy Striped Stripes
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a pageboy from the year 1500, as depicted in this historic print from Mary Evans Picture Library. Dressed in the traditional attire of the era, the pageboy dons a striped top and hose, accessorized with a large, grey fur-trimmed hat and a pair of yellow hose. In his hands, he carries a massive, leather-bound book, the weight of which seems to be a testament to the importance of knowledge during this period. The intricate details of the pageboy's costume are a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the time. The striped top, with its horizontal lines, adds a sense of structure and order to the image, while the hose, or stockings, are held up by garters, adding a practical touch to the ensemble. The pageboy's hat, with its tall, conical shape and fur trim, is a symbol of status and wealth, indicating that this young boy served an important role in the household of a nobleman or noblewoman. The large, leather-bound book that the pageboy carries is a powerful symbol of the value placed on knowledge during this time period. With the advent of the Renaissance, the pursuit of knowledge and learning was a prized pursuit, and those who could read and write held a distinct advantage in society. The size and weight of the book suggest that it is a valuable and important tome, likely containing the works of classical authors or the latest scholarly discoveries. This striking image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when knowledge was a precious commodity and the role of the pageboy was a respected and honored position. With its rich details and historical significance, this print is a must-have for any history buff or collector of historic art.
