EDITORS COMMENTS
Eleanor of Aquitaine (1122-1204), Queen of Henry II, 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. The image captures Eleanor's regal presence and elegant fashion sense during the Middle Ages. Born in 1122 in Aquitaine, France, Eleanor was one of the most powerful and influential women of the Middle Ages. She was married to King Louis VI of France before being wed to Henry II of England in 1152. Eleanor's second marriage brought her significant power and influence, making her the queen consort of England and the duchess of Normandy, Anjou, and Aquitaine. The engraving shows Eleanor wearing an intricately embroidered gold mantle, adorned with delicate floral patterns and fringes. She wears a veil draped over her head, held in place by a diadem, and a wimple covering her neck and chest. Her dress, also made of rich fabric, is adorned with elaborate patterns and embellishments. The image is based on various sources, including monumental effigies, tapestries, illuminated manuscripts, and portraits. The Martins, who created this illustration, were renowned for their attention to historical detail and accuracy. Eleanor's connection to Fontevraud Abbey is also significant, as she was the founder of the monastery in 1147. After her husband's death, she retired there and was eventually buried there in 1204. The abbey became a place of pilgrimage for those seeking the intercession of the powerful and influential queen. This engraving is a testament to the fashion and history of the Middle Ages, providing a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the time. The intricate details of Eleanor's attire and the historical significance of the image make it a valuable addition to any collection of historical illustrations.
