EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 14th century, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of medieval fashion. Titled "Varieties of the houppelande" this image showcases an array of exquisite robes worn by men during that era. The attention to detail is remarkable, with a particular focus on the collar and ornamental work adorning the shoulders. The houppelande, a popular garment in England at the time, is beautifully captured in this illustration from British Costume during 19 Centuries by Mrs Charles H Ashdown. Its voluminous sleeves and intricate dagged embroidery make it truly stand out as a symbol of elegance and style. As we delve into history through this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported to a different time and place. We can almost imagine these men strolling through ancient English streets, their robes billowing behind them as they go about their daily lives. Emily Jessie Ashdown's skillful portrayal allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship involved in creating such garments but also provides insight into societal norms and cultural practices of that period. This print serves as a reminder of how clothing has always been more than just fabric; it reflects our identity, status, and aspirations throughout history. With its rich historical context and artistic charm, this print invites us to explore centuries past while celebrating human creativity across time.
