EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 14th century, capturing a moment of solemn devotion by King Richard II. The young monarch, born in 1367 and ruling from 1377 to 1399, is depicted wearing an exquisite Houppelande, a voluminous gown adorned with the emblematic badge of the white hart. The intricate design features ornamental circles that enclose this symbol of royalty. Intriguingly, the morse (fastening) on his garment takes the form of a majestic hart with jeweled antlers. This attention to detail showcases both Richard II's regal status and his appreciation for artistry. Kneeling in prayer, Richard II exemplifies his deep religious faith as he engages in Christian devotions. His pious demeanor reflects the medieval era's strong connection between religion and monarchy. The photograph is part of British Costume during 19 Centuries by Mrs Charles H Ashdown, published in London in 1910. Emily Jessie Ashdown skillfully captured this historical moment through her lens while paying homage to King Richard II's reign. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we are reminded not only of England's rich history but also of the enduring power and influence held by its royal figures throughout centuries past.
