EDITORS COMMENTS
William of Hatfield, the second son of King Edward III, is depicted in this stunning handcolored engraving as a young man, despite the fact that he died in infancy. The image is taken from "Civil Costume of England from the Conquest to the Present Period," a comprehensive work on English fashion history, drawn by Charles Martin and etched by Leopold Martin. The brothers, sons of the renowned romantic artist and mezzotint engraver John Martin, meticulously researched their subjects, drawing inspiration from tapestries, monumental effigies, illuminated manuscripts, and portraits. This particular illustration showcases the fashion trends of the 14th century, a time of grandeur and opulence in English history. William is depicted wearing a richly embroidered tunic, with a fur-lined mantle draped over his shoulders, typical of the high-status attire of the era. The intricate details of the engraving, from the delicate patterns on the fabric to the textures of the fur, are a testament to the brothers' exceptional artistic skills. The image was created in the early 19th century, during a time when there was a renewed interest in medieval history and culture. The Martins' work, which also included architectural and topographical illustrations, was widely admired for its accuracy and artistic merit. Today, this engraving serves as an important historical record, offering a glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of the 14th century, as well as the artistic prowess of the Martin brothers.
