EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts a dress worn during the reign of King James I (1601-1625), based on the attire of Lady Lucy Percy as portrayed in various historical sources. The dress features a jeweled bodice, adorned with intricate designs and precious stones, which contrasts beautifully with the delicate double lace ruff that frames her face. The puff sleeves, embroidered with intricate patterns, add a regal touch to the ensemble. Beneath the bodice, an embroidered petticoat adds an elegant layer, while the hat is bedecked with pearls and a veil that cascades down her back. A feather fan completes the look, adding a touch of sophistication and elegance. The inspiration for this dress can be traced back to several historical records, including a portrait of Anne, Countess of Argyle, published in 1607. Additionally, references to the dress can be found in Lingua, a play published in the same year, as well as in The Pedigree of the English Gallant and the brass of the Colepepper family. The dress is also reminiscent of the fashion trends during the Argyling Church in Sussex during this period. This stunning representation of Lady Lucy Percy's dress is taken from Costumes of British Ladies from the Time of William the First to the Reign of Queen Victoria, a comprehensive collection of historical costumes published in London by Dickinson & Son in 1840. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of vibrant colours bring the dress to life, transporting us back in time to the opulent world of the British aristocracy during the early 17th century.
