EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored engraving depicts Robert Brauch, the Mayor of Lynn during the reign of King Edward III, as illustrated in Stothard's Monumental Effigies. The image was drawn by Charles Martin and etched by Leopold Martin, and is part of the Civil Costume of England from the Conquest to the Present Period published by Henry Bohn in London in 1842. The Mayor is depicted wearing a crimson tunic, which was a sign of high rank in medieval England. Over the tunic, he wears a mantle, which is fastened at the shoulder with a brooch. The shoes he wears are typical of the period, with pointed toes and laces. On his head, he wears a crown, indicating his mayoral status. The effigy of Robert Brauch is based on the monument at Fontevraud Abbey in France, where many English monarchs and nobles were buried during the Middle Ages. The illustration is a valuable historical record of the fashion and customs of the time, providing insight into the clothing and accessories worn by the elite during the late medieval period. The Martin brothers were renowned for their detailed and accurate depictions of historical costumes, and their work was based on a wide range of sources, including tapestries, monumental effigies, illuminated manuscripts, and portraits. Their illustrations were highly regarded for their historical accuracy and artistic merit, and continue to be studied by historians, fashion designers, and artists today.
