EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a regal figure dressed in attire representative of the reign of King William II, also known as William Rufus, who ruled England from 1087 to 1100. The elegant lady in the print dons a full dress adorned with intricate patterns, possibly inspired by illuminated manuscripts such as Cotton MS Nero C.4 and psalters of the 12th century. A luxurious fur-trimmed cloak drapes over her shoulders, adding an air of sophistication and warmth. Her long, flowing hair is artfully tied with ribbons, reflecting the fashion trends of the time. The handcoloured lithograph, produced in London around 1840 by Dickinson & Son, offers a glimpse into the historical fashion of British ladies during the time of William the First to the reign of Queen Victoria. This meticulously crafted print is a testament to the rich history and artistic detail that characterized the era. King William II, the younger son of William the Conqueror, was known for his love of hunting and the outdoors. This may explain the practical yet elegant design of the dress and cloak, which could have provided both style and functionality in the English countryside. The use of natural materials like fur and ribbons would have been common during this period, as resources and craftsmanship were highly valued. This print not only showcases the fashion trends of the time but also offers a window into the historical context of medieval England. It is a reminder of the intricate details and artistic craftsmanship that defined the era, making it an essential addition to any collection of historical fashion or British history.
