EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 16th century, showcasing the costumes of town and country women during that era. The image is a reproduction from "Costumes of town and country women, 16th century" published in 1910 by Emily Jessie Ashdown. In this snapshot of history, we observe the distinct fashion choices of English women during this period. Unlike the later years under Queen Elizabeth I's reign when skirts were heavily distended, these outfits feature more streamlined silhouettes. The attention to detail is remarkable as we can see various elements such as ruffs, headdresses, aprons, hats, and baskets incorporated into their attire. The setting appears to be a countryside location where two women are depicted wearing these traditional garments. Their headgear adds an air of elegance while their practical aprons suggest they may be engaged in daily tasks or perhaps preparing for a festive occasion. Emily Jessie Ashdown's contribution to British Costume during 19 Centuries allows us to glimpse into the past and appreciate the evolution of fashion throughout history. This monochrome print captures not only clothing styles but also offers insight into the lives of everyday people from this era. As we admire this beautiful piece of artistry by Mrs Charles H Ashdown (Emily Jessie Ashdown), let it serve as a reminder that even through centuries-old photographs like these; our connection with our ancestors remains strong.
