EDITORS COMMENTS
Margaret Roper (1505-1544), the eldest daughter of Sir Thomas More, is depicted in this exquisite handcolored engraving from "Civil Costume of England from the Conquest to the Present Period." Drawn by Charles Martin and etched by Leopold Martin, this illustration offers a glimpse into the fashion and elegance of the 16th century. The portrait, which was based on a painting believed to be by Hans Holbein the Younger, showcases Margaret's refined and sophisticated style. Margaret's dress is embroidered with intricate gold designs, adding an air of opulence and luxury to her attire. The scarlet fabric, which was a popular color for the upper classes during the Tudor period, is accentuated by the voluminous, embroidered sleeves that extend far beyond her hands. The high-necked, fitted bodice, which is also adorned with gold embroidery, cinches her waist and flatters her figure. The attention to detail in this illustration is remarkable, with every thread and stitch carefully rendered in the engraving process. The Martin brothers, who were the sons of the renowned romantic artist and mezzotint engraver John Martin, were known for their meticulous and accurate depictions of historical costumes. This illustration of Margaret Roper is a testament to their skill and dedication to preserving the fashion and history of the past. The "Civil Costume of England from the Conquest to the Present Period" was published in London by Henry Bohn in 1842. The work was based on extensive research and included illustrations of costumes drawn from tapestries, monumental effigies, illuminated manuscripts, and portraits. This illustration of Margaret Roper, with its stunning detail and historical accuracy, remains a valuable resource for those interested in the fashion and history of the Tudor era.
