Step back in time and immerse yourself in the enchanting world of medieval costume. From the regal attire worn by King Edward III as he waged war at the Battle of Crecy in 1346 to the delicate garments adorning a little prince destined for a royal throne, these historical artifacts transport us to an era long gone. Intriguing illustrations from ancient myths and legends come alive through Freyja and her captivating necklace, while Shakespeare's stories of English kings reveal that true royalty lies not in outward adornments but within one's heart. The vibrant colors of Morning Music evoke a sense of merriment and festivity, reminding us that even amidst battles and political turmoil, music has always been a universal language. The walls whisper secrets as they enclose tender babes imprisoned by envy, their innocence forever preserved within ancient stones. Saint Barbara's martyrdom immortalizes her devotion and sacrifice on panel, while Emperor Otto seeks justice through trial by fire - a testament to the harsh realities faced during those tumultuous times. Joan of Arc endures insults in prison with unwavering strength, embodying courage against adversity. Meanwhile, The Princess Sits in Judgement showcases both power and grace as she presides over matters of importance. The Lady exudes elegance on canvas, capturing timeless beauty that transcends centuries. Frontispiece illustrations from Stories of Royal Children from English History beckon us into tales filled with intrigue and adventure - where young princes and princesses navigate treacherous waters with bravery beyond their years. Medieval costume is more than just fabric; it is an embodiment of history itself - each thread woven intricately into narratives passed down through generations. It invites us to explore our pasts, understand our present, and imagine futures yet unseen.
