King James I, 1614, (1910)
King James I, 1614, (1910). The king (1566-1625) wears a thickly padded doublet and bombasted breeches. These appealed to him as being effective against the point of a dagger of rapier.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the regal presence of King James I, dating back to 1614. The monarch, known for his reign from 1566 to 1625, is depicted in a striking ensemble that reflects both fashion and functionality. His thickly padded doublet and bombasted breeches were not merely stylish choices but served as protection against potential dagger attacks or rapiers. The intricately slashed breeches and corsets seen in this portrait also play a crucial role in shaping the king's chest and waistline. This illustration, taken from "British Costume during 19 Centuries" by Mrs Charles H Ashdown (London, 1910), provides us with a glimpse into the sartorial preferences of the era. Accompanied by a majestic falcon perched on his gloved hand, King James I exudes an air of authority befitting his royal status. The inclusion of this bird of prey hints at his interest in falconry—a popular pastime among nobility during that time. As we delve into history through this monochrome image, it becomes evident that every detail has been meticulously captured by Emily Jessie Ashdown. Her expertise as an artist shines through as she brings to life the attire worn by one of Britain's most influential rulers. This photograph serves as a testament to King James I's enduring legacy while offering us insight into seventeenth-century fashion trends within Scotland and beyond.
