EDITORS COMMENTS
This 15th-century image, titled "German Couple 1475" from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases a fashionable couple from Lower Germany. The woman, adorned in an elegant gown with a fur-lined mantle, proudly points to her swelling belly with a sense of amusement. Her husband, dressed in the latest men's fashion, sports a stylish codpiece and pointed shoes. The couple's attire reflects the opulence and extravagance of the late medieval period. The woman's gown, featuring a fitted bodice and full skirt, is embellished with intricate embroidery and rich fabrics. Her headdress, adorned with pearls and feathers, adds a touch of elegance to her ensemble. The man's outfit, on the other hand, showcases the popular trends of the time. His hose, or tight-fitting breeches, are held up by a belt, and he wears a fitted doublet with a prominent codpiece. His shoes, with their distinctive pointed toes, are a hallmark of fashionable footwear during this era. The woman's expression, with a hint of playful reproach, suggests that her husband's fashion choices may have contributed to her pregnancy. This charming image offers a glimpse into the daily life and fashion trends of the German lower classes during the late 15th century.
