EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the reign of King Henry III in the 13th century. The image is an illustration from "The Gallery of British Costume: What Men and Women Wore In Henry IIIs Time" published around 1934. It offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of that era, providing instructions on how to recreate these outfits. Intriguingly, we are guided through the process of tracing figures onto thin paper, pasting them onto cardboard, and cutting them out. The accompanying text also enlightens us about the recommended colors for each costume piece. This unique approach allows readers to engage with history by creating their own paper dolls dressed in medieval attire. Edited by Charles Ray as part of "The Romance of the Nation" series, this publication transports us back in time while showcasing Britain's rich sartorial heritage. Although it was created during the 20th century, its subject matter harks back to a distant epoch. As we observe this lady-in-waiting donning her robe and wimple headdress with grace and elegance, we cannot help but appreciate how clothing has evolved over centuries. This monochrome depiction preserves not only historical accuracy but also captures our imagination as we envision life during King Henry III's rule. "The Gallery of British Costume" serves as a remarkable testament to England's cultural legacy and invites us all to explore our nation's fascinating past through its vibrant garments.
