EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the extravagant fashions of 14th century England, showcasing a mesmerizing illustration from "Illustrations of Mediaeval Costume in England" (1853). The hand-coloured engraving depicts a scene from the reigns of King Henry V and King Richard II, featuring an array of remarkable attire. In this elaborate image, we witness the marriage of Raymondin and Meluisine from the Origine de Lusignan. Women don horned headdresses, adding an air of mystique to their ensembles. Meanwhile, a man stands tall wearing a huge cap and long-sleeved robe, exuding regal elegance. Another figure is draped in a wide scarlet robe, symbolizing wealth and status. The intricate details found within this artwork are drawn from manuscripts such as Lusignan, British Museum's Harleian 4418, Histoire d'Alexandre 303, and Egerten 1121. These historical references bring authenticity to every stitch depicted on each garment. Handcoloured copperplate engraving techniques were employed by Thomas Anthony Day and J. H. Dines to create this stunning piece for "Illustrations of Mediaeval Costume in England". Their meticulous work showcases the opulence that defined fashion during this period. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and a reminder of the rich sartorial heritage that has shaped English culture throughout history.
