EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the beauty and intricacy of heart-shaped headdresses from the 15th century. Taken in 1910, this print showcases one woman wearing a stunning headdress with streamers hanging elegantly from the right side. The design imitates a fashion trend popular among men during the time of Edward IV. The image is part of "British Costume during 19 Centuries" by Mrs Charles H Ashdown, providing valuable insight into historical dress and fashion. The headdress, wimple, and medieval attire worn by this female figure transport us back to England in the 15th century. The monochrome aesthetic adds a sense of timeless elegance to this picture, emphasizing its connection to both medieval times and early 20th-century artistry. It was captured by Emily Jessie Ashdown, an unknown creator whose work has been preserved through Heritage Images. As we admire this print collector's piece, we are reminded of the rich history that exists within our country's traditions and cultural heritage. This photograph serves as a window into another era – a glimpse into the lives and adornments of women who lived centuries ago. Whether used for educational purposes or personal appreciation, this print offers an opportunity to delve deeper into English history while marveling at the exquisite craftsmanship displayed in these heart-shaped headdresses from long ago.
