EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back in time to the medieval era, where the ermine (Putorius ermineus), a small weasel-like mammal, held a significant role in the fashion and traditions of the aristocracy. The ermine's distinctive white winter fur, with its black-tipped tail and paws, was a symbol of purity and royalty. In contrast, common folk had to make do with rabbit fur for their clothing needs. The ermine's historical significance is evident in this print, where it adorns a grand costume, adding an air of elegance and sophistication. The intricate details of the ermine's fur are beautifully captured, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship of the time. The ermine's association with royalty can be traced back to ancient Rome, where it was believed that the ermine's habit of only attacking prey larger than itself represented the strength and courage of the emperor. This tradition continued into the Middle Ages, where the ermine's fur was used to line the robes of European monarchs, including the British monarchy, which still uses the ermine as its heraldic animal. The ermine's fur was so valued that it was even used as a currency in some parts of Europe. This print is a testament to the rich history and traditions of the past, where the fur of the ermine played a crucial role in the lives of the medieval aristocracy. The ermine's enduring symbolism as a representation of purity, strength, and royalty continues to captivate us even today.
