EDITORS COMMENTS
The Gallery of British Costume: The Dress of Danes & Later Anglo-Saxons, c1934 captures a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and culture of two historical periods. This print, dating back to the 1930s, showcases an illustration of costumes worn by both Danes (Vikings) and Anglo-Saxons from the 8th century AD until 1066. The accompanying text provides instructions on how to trace these figures onto thin paper, paste them onto cardboard, and cut them out. It even offers guidance on which colors to use for authenticity. From peasants to warriors, this print encompasses various social classes within England's history. Edited by Charles Ray as part of 'The Romance of the Nation' series published by The Amalgamated Press in London, this image reflects a deep appreciation for Britain's rich heritage. While it does not mention commercial use or any specific company associated with it, its purpose seems educational rather than purely decorative. As we observe this monochrome depiction filled with female figures dressed in traditional attire alongside monarchs and queens adorned in regal garments, we are transported back in time. This snapshot serves as a reminder that clothing not only reflects personal style but also carries significant cultural meaning.
