EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the late 15th century in France, as depicted in this image from Mary Evans Prints Online. The woman, elegantly dressed in the height of medieval fashion, dons a mantle, a large, draped cloak that adds a sense of grandeur and sophistication to her attire. Beneath the mantle, she wears a gown with a square neckline, a popular design during this period. Her hat, with its floppy brim, completes the look, adding a touch of playfulness to her ensemble. The man, equally well-dressed, wears a hat with a round crown and the brim turned up at the back. This style was common among men of the nobility during the late 15th century. Underneath his hat, he wears a gown, doublet, and jacket, all adorned with hanging sleeves that add volume and texture to his outfit. The woman holds a book in one hand, signifying her literacy and education, while the man carries a staff, a symbol of authority and power. At his side, a pouch and a purse are attached to a chain, indicating his wealth and status. This stunning print, dated between 1477 and 1480, offers a glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of the French aristocracy during the late medieval period. It is a testament to the intricate details and rich textures that characterized the clothing of the time, as well as the importance of education, power, and wealth in medieval society.
