EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history, showcasing King Edward II and his courtiers during the 14th century. The king, who ruled from 1307 to 1327, sits confidently on his throne, adorned with a majestic crown. Surrounding him are men dressed in exquisite medieval attire, engaging in conversation and gesturing animatedly. One figure stands out among the rest, wearing a bliaut with bell-shaped sleeves that adds an elegant touch to their ensemble. This unique garment reflects the fashion trends of the time period and showcases the attention to detail paid by Mrs Charles H Ashdown when creating this illustration for her book "British Costume During 19 Centuries" published in London in 1910. The image transports us back to medieval England, offering a glimpse into royal life during this era. The courtiers seem engrossed in discussion as they converse with one another while pointing and making hand gestures. Their expressions suggest lively debates or important matters being discussed within the kingdom. Emily Jessie Ashdown's skillful depiction brings this historical scene to life through her monochrome interpretation. Her work as an artist allows us to appreciate the intricate details of clothing styles and provides insight into how people of different social ranks interacted during that time. As we admire this print from Heritage Images collection, we can't help but marvel at its ability to capture both the grandeur of royalty and the everyday interactions that shaped medieval society.
