EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1796 showcases three Anglo-Saxon men in tunics, offering a glimpse into the fashion and style of the time. The Austrian School artist beautifully captures the essence of these individuals, each with their unique attire and presence. In the foreground, we see an Anglo-Saxon man without a mantle (19), his tunic draping elegantly over his frame. His simple yet refined clothing hints at a modest lifestyle while exuding an air of sophistication. Next to him stands another figure (20), donning both a tunic and boots, suggesting perhaps a higher social status or occupation that requires more practical footwear. The third man depicted (21) is adorned in an embroidered tunic, showcasing intricate details that speak to wealth and prestige. This elaborate garment reflects not only his personal taste but also highlights the craftsmanship prevalent during this period. Handcolored with meticulous attention to detail, this copperplate engraving brings history to life. It is part of Robert von Spalart's renowned work on historical costumes, which provides valuable insight into various cultures throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages. As we gaze upon this print from our private collection today, we are transported back in time to witness these Anglo-Saxon men as they were centuries ago. Their attire serves as a visual representation of societal norms and individual expression during this era—a testament to human creativity across different periods in history.
