EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored engraving, titled 'Civil Costume of England from the Conquest to the Present Period,' offers a captivating glimpse into the evolution of mens fashion in England from 1787 to 1841. The illustration, drawn by Charles Martin and etched by Leopold Martin, is an intricate and meticulously detailed work that was published in London by Henry Bohn in 1842. The Martins, sons of the renowned romantic artist and mezzotint engraver John Martin, drew inspiration for this illustration from a variety of sources, including tapestries, monumental effigies, illuminated manuscripts, and portraits. The resulting image showcases a fascinating array of mens fashion styles from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The illustration features a series of portraits, each depicting a man from a different era in English history. The earliest portrait shows a man from the Conquest period, dressed in a simple tunic and leggings, while later portraits display more elaborate costumes, such as the redingote, a long, fitted coat with a lapel that buttoned down the front, and the frock coat, a double-breasted coat with a long, straight skirt. The intricacy and attention to detail in this handcolored engraving are truly remarkable. The use of color adds depth and texture to the illustration, bringing the historical costumes to life and allowing us to appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry of the Martins. This illustration is not only a valuable historical record of mens fashion in England during this period but also a beautiful work of art that continues to captivate and inspire. The 'Civil Costume of England from the Conquest to the Present Period' is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of England and a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating our past. This illustration is a must-have for anyone with an interest in fashion history, art history, or English history.
