EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts a noblewoman of the English court during the reign of Henry V and VI, circa 1413-1461. The woman is dressed in a crimson jacket, trimmed with the luxurious white fur of ermine, worn over a pristine white undergown. Her tall, jeweled headdress takes the shape of a heart, a symbol of love and devotion, reflecting the romantic era of the late medieval period. The design of this costume is based on historical records and descriptions found in the Royal and Harleian manuscripts, as well as the works of contemporary chroniclers such as Jean Froissart and Montfaucon. The intricate details of the headdress, with its delicate pearls and precious stones, are testament to the opulence and grandeur of the English court during this time. The lithograph, produced in London by Dickinson & Son in 1840, is a stunning example of the meticulous research and craftsmanship that went into the creation of historical costumes during the 19th century. It provides a valuable insight into the fashion and style of the late medieval period, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of England during the reigns of Henry V and VI.
