EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts Lady Vernon, a noblewoman of the reign of King Henry V and early Henry VI, around 1413-1430. The image is based on various historical sources, including an effigy in Tong Church, Shropshire, a tapestry in St. Mary's Hall, Coventry, and royal and Harleian manuscripts, as well as the works of Froissart and Montfaucon. Lady Vernon's attire reflects the opulence and elegance of the late medieval period. She wears an ermine-trimmed dress with a low-cut collar that reveals her shoulders, showcasing the fashionable trend of the time. The collar is adorned with intricate embroidery, adding to the dress's grandeur. Over her hair, Lady Vernon wears an elaborate headdress, which is covered in veils. The headdress is a common feature of high-status women's fashion during this period, as it signified their marital status and social standing. The intricate details of the dress and headdress are beautifully captured in this handcoloured lithograph, which was produced in London by Dickinson & Son in 1840. The image provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and style of the late medieval period, offering a valuable insight into the clothing and accessories worn by noblewomen during the reigns of King Henry V and early Henry VI.
