EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite English dress from the 14th century, specifically between 1300 and 1400. The artwork is a color lithograph by Albert Kretschmer, dating back to 1864. It features various prominent figures of that era, including Edward the Black Prince (1330-76), Queen Philippa of Hainault (c. 1314-1369), and King Edward III (1312-77). The image depicts a stunning array of medieval fashion elements, such as armor, swords, helmets, and chain mail. Both men and women are adorned in luxurious attire with fur trims and intricate jewelry like necklaces, crowns, brooches, and scepters. The noblewomen wear elegant gowns with headdresses while the noblemen don regal cloaks. Symbolism plays an important role in this piece as well; three lions represent royalty while leopards signify heraldry. Additionally, fleur de lys motifs can be seen throughout the composition. Notably set during the Hundred Years War period between England and France, this artwork offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur associated with royal families during that time. Preserved in a private collection today but originally part of "Trachten der Voelker" this historical gem allows us to appreciate both the craftsmanship involved in creating these garments as well as their significance within medieval society.
