EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 14th century, showcasing a lady's costume from the reign of Richard II. The intricate details of this medieval attire are beautifully captured by Emily Jessie Ashdown, an unknown creator who expertly portrays the essence of female fashion during that era. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the headdress, which encloses the ears and adds a touch of elegance to the overall ensemble. It serves as a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship involved in creating such headgear during those times. Additionally, we can observe a cote-hardi worn over the robe, adding layers and depth to this woman's clothing. Emily Jessie Ashdown's illustration comes from her book "British Costume during 19 Centuries" published in London in 1910. This historical piece not only showcases English fashion but also provides insight into how women dressed centuries ago. As we gaze upon this monochrome photograph, we are transported back through time to witness firsthand how people lived and what they wore during one particular period in British history. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind these costumes and their significance within society at that time.
