Male head-gear, late 15th-early 16th century, (1910). Three aspects of a dandy - right, finishing his toilet: taking a silver needle from the needle-case, he is about to make the points which fix the different portions of his sleeves together. Centre - in full war-paint, with large hat, bearing seven feathers of a preposterous length and ornamented with pearls, worn over a skull-cap. Left - back view - lapelles do not meet behind. Illustration from British Costume during 19 Centuries by Mrs Charles H Ashdown, (London, 1910)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of male head-gear from the late 15th to early 16th century. The image showcases three distinct aspects of a dandy's fashion choices during that era. On the right, we see a gentleman in the midst of his morning routine, finishing his toilet. He delicately holds a silver needle from his needle-case, preparing to secure different portions of his sleeves together. This attention to detail highlights the meticulous nature of dandies when it came to their appearance. In the center, we witness a man adorned in full war-paint, wearing an extravagant hat with seven feathers of preposterous length. The hat is further embellished with pearls and worn over a skull-cap. This flamboyant display demonstrates how dandies sought attention through ostentatious accessories. Lastly, on the left side of the image, we observe a back view where lapels do not meet behind. This subtle detail indicates that even from behind, every aspect of their attire had to be perfect for these fashionable individuals. Emily Jessie Ashdown beautifully illustrates these various styles in her work "Male head-gear". Her depiction transports us back in time to an era where men took great pride in their appearance and were unafraid to experiment with bold fashion choices.
