EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Joseph Strutt takes us back to the fashionable habits of the 15th century. The print showcases men and women dressed in their finest attire, giving us a glimpse into the sartorial choices of this era. The men are seen wearing doublets, mantles with slit sleeves, hose, and feather caps. Their outfits exude elegance and sophistication, reflecting the fashion trends of the time. On the other hand, women don net headdresses and long robes that add an air of gracefulness to their appearance. In particular, one couple catches our attention as Cortoisie invites L Amans to join her in a dance. This scene is taken from an illuminated manuscript called "Roman de la Rose" by Guillaume de Lorris and Jean de Meun dating back to around 1490. It beautifully captures the essence of courtly love during this period. Joseph Strutt's handcoloured engraving brings these historical costumes to life with vibrant hues and intricate details. Published in London in 1842 as part of his book "Complete View of the Dress and Habits of the People of England" it serves as a valuable resource for understanding English fashion through centuries. This artwork reminds us how fashion has evolved over time while also highlighting its enduring influence on culture and society. It offers a fascinating window into history that allows us to appreciate both its beauty and significance.
