EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, created by Joseph Strutt in 1842, transports us back to the 15th century and offers a glimpse into the regal world of Margaret of Anjou, Queen of England. The print showcases Margaret adorned in an elegant ermine mantle, complete with a crown and sceptre that symbolize her royal status. Surrounding her are noblewomen courtiers, their heads crowned with butterfly hennin or escoffion headwear and draped in wide-sleeved robes. Taken from the Talbot Shrewsbury Book held at the British Library, this handcoloured engraving captures the essence of medieval fashion and style. It is part of Joseph Strutt's comprehensive work titled "Complete View of the Dress and Habits of the People of England" which provides invaluable insights into historical clothing. The image evokes a sense of grandeur as it highlights not only Margaret's majestic presence but also showcases the intricate details and opulence associated with noblewomen during this period. The delicate coloring adds depth to each figure while emphasizing their importance within society. As we admire this artwork today, we are reminded that history has left its mark on our present culture. This enchanting print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical documentation, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and grace that once graced England's courts centuries ago.
