EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored engraving, titled "Female Costume in the Reign of Richard III, 1483-1485," offers a fascinating glimpse into the opulent and intricately designed fashion of the late 15th century in England. Drawn from various sources including tapestries, monumental effigies, illuminated manuscripts, and portraits, this illustration was created by the skilled hands of Charles and Leopold Martin. The Martins, sons of the renowned romantic artist and mezzotint engraver John Martin, meticulously captured the essence of this period's feminine attire. The figure in the engraving wears a voluminous, embroidered skirt, adorned with intricate patterns and rich colors. The bodice, made of velvet, is trimmed with fur and features a high neckline and lacing at the front. A mantle, also of velvet, is draped over the shoulders, adding an air of grandeur to the ensemble. The hat, a crucial element of the costume, is adorned with a delicate veil, creating an elegant and mysterious appearance. The hat's shape, with its upward-pointing brim, is a distinctive feature of late 15th-century fashion. The overall effect of this exquisite costume is one of luxury and refinement, transporting us back in time to the opulent courts of Richard III's reign. The Martins' dedication to historical accuracy and attention to detail is evident in this stunning illustration, making it an invaluable resource for those studying the fashion and history of the late 15th century in England.
