EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a mediaeval lady adorned in a magnificent steeple headdress, also known as a hennin, from the late 15th century. The hennin is a tall, conical headdress that originated in the 14th century and was popular among the European aristocracy during the late medieval period. The lady's elaborate headpiece is adorned with intricate ornaments, resembling a wreath, that ascend to a sharp point, giving the appearance of a steeple. The lady's costume displays a blend of both 14th and 15th-century elements. Her high-waisted gown, featuring a fitted bodice and voluminous skirt, is typical of the 14th century. In contrast, the open-fronted robe, worn over the gown, is a characteristic feature of the late 15th century. The robe is fastened with a brooch and is adorned with rich fabrics and furs, reflecting the lady's high social status. The lady's veil, draped over her shoulders and secured with a jeweled brooch, adds an air of mystery and elegance to her appearance. Her hair, styled in tight curls and adorned with flowers, is hidden beneath the hennin, adding to the intrigue of this historical depiction. This fanciful Victorian illustration, produced in the late 19th century, offers a captivating glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the late medieval period. The image, with its intricate details and rich colors, transports us back in time to an era of knights, tournaments, and courtly love.
