EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magnificent effigy of King Henry II, a 12th-century monarch, from the Abbey of Fontevrault in Aquitaine near Anjou. The detailed image showcases the king's tomb effigy adorned in regal attire. His dalmatica robe elegantly reaches his ankles, while its wide sleeves add to the grandeur of his appearance. A brooch secures a mantle to his shoulder, further enhancing his majestic presence. The photograph is taken from "British Costume during 19 Centuries" by Mrs Charles H Ashdown, published in London in 1910. It provides a glimpse into medieval fashion and highlights the intricate clothing worn by royalty during that era. King Henry II was an influential figure both in France and England during his reign from 1133 to 1189. This image serves as a reminder of his significant role in shaping history. Emily Jessie Ashdown, the creator of this print, skillfully captures every detail with precision. Through her lens, we are transported back in time to witness this remarkable piece of artistry. This print is not intended for commercial use but rather aims to preserve historical heritage through visual documentation. It allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship and religious symbolism associated with royal burials and mausoleums throughout history.
