EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts a noblewoman of the reign of King Edward III of England, dressed in the elegant attire of the era. The woman wears a gold crown atop her head, signifying her high status, over a delicate hairnet that keeps her intricately styled hair in place. A sumptuous ermine-lined mantle, draped elegantly over her green gown, adds a regal touch to her attire. Hanging from her belt is a small purse, a practical accessory for carrying essentials during the day. The design of this dress is based on various historical sources, including a brass depicting the wife of William de Wynston, located in Necton Church, and the brass of Lady Harvick in South Acre Church, Norfolk. These historical artifacts provide valuable insights into the fashion trends of the time, allowing us to appreciate the intricate details of this beautiful dress. This stunning lithograph is taken from the highly regarded work "Costumes of British Ladies from the Time of William the First to the Reign of Queen Victoria," published in London by Dickinson & Son in 1840. The meticulous attention to detail and the rich use of colour in this print make it a valuable historical record and an exquisite work of art in its own right.
