EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the opulent 16th century, an era of grandeur and elegance, as we witness an aristocratic couple preparing to embark on a journey in this enchanting photograph from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection. The man, dressed in the finery of a courtier, dons a velvet doublet and hose, adorned with intricate lace and embroidery, while his hat sits atop his head, a symbol of his rank and status. His lady, a vision of beauty and grace, is resplendent in a sumptuous gown, its voluminous skirts billowing out as she steps into the carriage, her delicate hands gloved and adorned with rings. The couple exchange a loving gesture as they prepare to depart, their eyes locked in a tender moment, oblivious to the world around them. Their coach, a testament to their wealth and social standing, is an elegant chariot of the time, drawn by a team of fine horses, their coats gleaming in the sunlight. The scene is one of idealised nostalgia, a longing for a time when life moved at a slower pace, and wealth and status were measured by the richness of one's wardrobe and the grandeur of one's transport. The photograph, with its meticulously recreated costumes and authentic setting, transports us back to a time when life was a grand and elegant affair, a time that continues to captivate our imaginations and fuel our fascination with the past.
