EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative 15th century print from the annals of history, a group of courtiers proudly display their elegant attire, each piece meticulously crafted to reflect the opulence and refinement of the medieval era. The central figure wears a chaperon, a conical hat with a veil, draped over a hooded houppelande or gown. The gown is adorned with wide, funnel sleeves, intricately dagged and scalloped, adding a sense of fluidity and grace to the ensemble. Beneath the gown, the courtier dons a colourful jacket, worn over a doublet. The jacket, with its two distinct colours, showcases the fashionable trend of the time, while the doublet, with its fitted design, accentuates the wearer's physique. The courtier completes his look with riding buskins and spurs, signaling his readiness for equestrian pursuits. To the left, another courtier is depicted wearing a similar ensemble, with a dagged, scalloped huke, a long, loose-fitting outer garment, draped over his shoulders. The presence of these officers of the court in such grand attire suggests a scene of state or formal occasion, further emphasizing the importance of fashion and presentation in medieval society. This print, with its intricate details and rich colours, offers a glimpse into the world of 15th century court life, a time when fashion was a powerful expression of status, wealth, and power.
