1625 Abraham Annals Camden Darcy Including Lace Translation
EDITORS COMMENTS
Abraham Darcie, a prominent figure in 17th century England, is depicted in this portrait from circa 1625. Darcie, also known as Abraham Darcy, Abraham Darssie, or simply A.B. Darcie, was a renowned writer and scholar, best known for his translation of the "Annals of Camden" by William Camden. His work was highly regarded for its accuracy and elegance, making him a respected voice in historical circles of the time. The image showcases Darcie's sophisticated attire, which was as noteworthy as his scholarly achievements. He is seen wearing a fine, intricately designed lace collar, a symbol of his affluence and status. The collar, which was a popular fashion accessory during the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras, was often made from expensive materials like lace, silk, or velvet. The collar's intricate patterns and delicate details speak to the wearer's wealth and refinement. Darcie's attire also includes a doublet, a fitted jacket with a high collar, and breeches. The doublet is adorned with decorative buttons and a patterned fabric, adding to its visual appeal. The overall effect is one of elegance and sophistication, reflecting the high standards of the time. The portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a man who was not only a respected scholar but also a man of style and refinement. Abraham Darcie's translation of Camden's Annals remains an important historical text, and this portrait serves as a reminder of the man behind the work and the era in which he lived.
