EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Saxon men in tunics and nightshirt, 1843" takes us back to the 8th century. The image showcases three Saxon men dressed in traditional tunics and nightshirts, providing a glimpse into their daily lives. The central figure is peacefully sleeping, wrapped in his comfortable nightshirt. Surrounding him are two other individuals, each wearing intricately designed tunics that reflect the fashion of the time. Their attire highlights the attention to detail and craftsmanship prevalent during this era. Created by Joseph Strutt as part of his comprehensive work on English dress and habits, this handcoloured engraving offers a valuable historical record. It draws inspiration from various manuscripts such as Hexateuch and Junius psalter, showcasing Strutt's dedication to accuracy. Through this artwork, we gain insights into not only Saxon clothing but also broader aspects of British culture during the 8th century. It serves as a reminder of how fashion has evolved over centuries while preserving elements of tradition. Florilegius presents this print from their private collection with great care for its historical significance. As we admire this piece today, it allows us to appreciate both the artistry involved in creating engravings like these and our connection to past civilizations.
