EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th century image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, depicts a dedicated standard bearer proudly carrying the magnificent flag of his military unit. Dating back to 1587, this evocative print showcases the intricate details of the era's military attire. The standard bearer wears a ruff, a high collar typically made of starched fabric, and a jerkin, a fitted vest with lacing or buttons. The most striking feature of his ensemble are the puffed sleeves, a fashionable element of the time that added volume and grandeur to military uniforms. The standard bearer's expression conveys determination and focus, as he carefully balances the heavy flagpole on his left shoulder. The flag he carries is a testament to the opulence and power of the military unit it represents. Richly decorated with intricate designs and vibrant colors, the flag is held aloft by a golden finial, adding to its regal appearance. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the military fashion and traditions of the late 16th century. The standard bearer's attire and demeanor reflect the pride and dedication of the soldiers who served during this period, making this image a valuable historical artifact and an intriguing piece of art.
