EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1796 showcases the intricate and elegant dress of Anglo Saxon women. The Austrian School artist beautifully captures the essence of these women's attire, providing us with a glimpse into their fashion choices during this period. In the print, we see three different representations of Anglo Saxon women's dress. The first woman is adorned in a tunic, veil, mantle, and open-toe shoes. Her ensemble exudes sophistication and grace as she confidently poses for the viewer. The second woman wears a tunic and veil, radiating an air of simplicity yet still maintaining her elegance. Lastly, we observe a veiled woman whose mantle contrasts in color from her veil, adding an intriguing element to her overall appearance. Handcolored copperplate engraving techniques bring out the vibrant colors used in these garments and accessories. This historical depiction comes from Robert von Spalart's renowned work on costumes throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages. The image not only offers insight into fashion trends but also provides valuable information about society at that time. It serves as a reminder of traditions passed down through generations and highlights how clothing played an essential role in defining one's identity within their community. As we admire this artwork today, it reminds us of our rich history while celebrating the creativity and craftsmanship that went into creating such exquisite pieces of clothing centuries ago.
