EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts a noblewoman of the 13th century, dressed in the fashion of the reign of King Henry III, from 1216 to 1272. The woman wears a crimson fur-lined mantle, which is draped elegantly over a blue and white damask dress. The damask fabric is intricately patterned with new lilies, adding an exquisite detail to the outfit. The woman's head is adorned with a crown of roses, a symbol of love and beauty during this era. A veil and wimple complete the look, adding a touch of modesty and sophistication. This image is based on an effigy of Aveline, Countess of Lancaster, which can be found in Westminster Abbey. The effigy, dating back to the 13th century, showcases the romantic and elegant fashion of the time. The damask white and azure blue of the dress, with its well-diapered lilies, was a popular choice among the nobility during the reign of King Henry III. The lithograph, produced in London by Dickinson & Son in 1840, captures the essence of historical fashion and offers a glimpse into the past. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the image to life, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical costumes or art. This beautiful piece not only showcases the fashion trends of the 13th century but also offers a glimpse into the rich history of British ladies' attire from the time of William the First to the reign of Queen Victoria.
