EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Costumes of state officers of the 15th century" takes us on a journey back in time to the lavish attire worn by high-ranking officials during this period. Created by Joseph Strutt in 1842, this handcoloured print showcases the intricate details and opulence of the garments. The subjects depicted in the engraving wear headdresses adorned with drapery, symbolizing their status and authority. Their rich velvet mantles and robes feature slit sleeves, allowing glimpses of luxurious fabrics underneath. Each individual costume is meticulously crafted, highlighting the craftsmanship and attention to detail prevalent during the 15th century. Strutt drew inspiration from Jean Froissart's Chronicles manuscript dating back to 1470-72 for this piece. The manuscript itself, known as Harley MS 4379, serves as a valuable historical reference for understanding fashion trends during that era. Transporting us through time and space, this artwork offers a glimpse into England's past. It captures not only the sartorial choices but also provides insight into British culture at large during this period. As we admire these costumes from centuries ago, we are reminded of how fashion has evolved over time while still retaining elements inspired by our rich heritage. This enchanting print invites us to appreciate both artistry and history simultaneously – an exquisite fusion that continues to captivate viewers even today.
