EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 15th century, showcasing the elegant Hunting Dresses worn by English women of that time. The illustration is based on a manuscript found in the Harleian Collection of the British Library, beautifully recreated by Joseph Strutt in his book "The Sports and Pastimes of the people of England" published in London in 1833. In this scene, we see a group of men and women dressed in exquisite hunting attire. The women are adorned with long flowing gowns, intricately designed to reflect their status and grace. They carry bows and arrows with confidence, ready for an exciting hunt amidst the picturesque English countryside. A lady stands out among them, holding a hunting horn which she skillfully uses to signal her companions during their pursuit. Her presence exudes poise and determination as she embraces this traditionally male-dominated activity. The engraving captures not only the fashion but also provides insight into medieval hunting practices. The attention to detail showcases quivers filled with arrows slung over shoulders while men donning similar outfits accompany these fearless women. As we gaze upon this print from centuries past, we are transported back to an era where nature's beauty intertwined seamlessly with human pursuits. It serves as a reminder of our rich history and how traditions evolve over time while leaving behind timeless images like this one captured by an unknown artist under Joseph Strutt's guidance.
