EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 15th century, offering a glimpse into the world of women's fashion during the time of Henry VI. The image showcases various headdresses worn by women in England during this period. In the center, we see a striking turban headdress adorned with flowing hair that cascades down the woman's back. This particular style was popular among fashionable ladies at the time. To either side, we observe horned headdresses which gained popularity around 1420. These unique headpieces were an expression of individuality and added an element of drama to their wearers' appearance. The photograph is taken from "British Costume during 19 Centuries" by Mrs Charles H Ashdown, published in London in 1910. It is a testament to Emily Jessie Ashdown's keen eye for capturing historical details through her illustrations. As we admire this snapshot from history, it transports us to a different era where elegance and sophistication were paramount in female attire. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and enhances our appreciation for these medieval fashion statements. Emily Jessie Ashdown's work serves as a valuable resource for those interested in exploring British costume throughout centuries past. Through her lens, she immortalizes not only clothing but also cultural trends that have shaped our understanding of fashion today.
