EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Margaret, Lady Peyton, a prominent figure in 15th-century England. The image is a faithful representation copied from a brass at Isleham Church in Cambridgeshire, showcasing Lady Peyton wearing the exquisite butterfly headdress that was popular during her era. Margaret was not only known for her striking appearance but also for her significant inheritance as the heiress to the manors of the Bernards in Isleham. She was married to Thomas Peyton, and this portrait immortalizes her as his first wife. The photograph is part of an illustrious collection titled "British Costume during 19 Centuries" by Mrs Charles H Ashdown, published in London in 1910. Emily Jessie Ashdown skillfully captured every intricate detail of Lady Peyton's dress and costume, transporting viewers back to medieval times. The image evokes a sense of mystery and elegance as it showcases Lady Peyton's regal presence against a monochrome backdrop. It serves as a poignant reminder of England's rich history and cultural heritage. Displayed within this print collector's work, Margaret, Lady Peyton becomes more than just an individual; she represents an entire era—a time when women played influential roles within their country's social fabric. This photograph invites us to explore concepts such as femininity, power dynamics, and societal norms through its portrayal of one remarkable lady from centuries past.
