EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored engraving, titled 'Male Fashion from the Reign of Edward IV, 1461-1470,' is an exquisite illustration of English male fashion during the mid-15th century. Drawn by Charles Martin and etched by Leopold Martin, this image is a meticulous representation of the sartorial trends that prevailed during the reign of King Edward IV. The Martins, renowned artists in their own right, created this illustration based on various sources, including tapestries, monumental effigies, illuminated manuscripts, and portraits. Their dedication to historical accuracy is evident in the intricate details of the clothing and accessories depicted in the image. King Edward IV's reign marked a significant period in English history, and this illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashionable attire of the time. The male figure is depicted wearing a doublet, a fitted jacket that was a staple of 15th-century fashion. The doublet is adorned with elaborate embroidery and fur trimmings, reflecting the opulence and wealth of the nobility during this era. The man is also wearing hose, which are tight-fitting breeches that were worn with a linen lining. The hose are held up by a belt, and the man is wearing a girdle, a waistband that was worn for support and to hold the sword in place. The man's head is covered by a close-fitting cap, and he is wearing a pair of high, laced boots. This illustration is a valuable historical record of male fashion during the reign of Edward IV and offers a captivating glimpse into the opulence and elegance of the English court during this period. The Martins' dedication to historical accuracy and their exceptional artistic skills make this a truly remarkable and intriguing illustration.
