EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "King in coronation habit, 13th century" takes us back to a bygone era of regal grandeur. Created by Joseph Strutt in 1842, this print showcases a bearded king adorned in the opulent attire of his coronation. The king stands tall and majestic, wearing an intricately designed crown atop his head and holding a sceptre symbolizing his authority. His green mantle, lined with vair (a type of fur), exudes elegance and power. The dalmatic he wears is embellished with fleurs-de-lys and adorned with dazzling jewels, further emphasizing his royal status. This exquisite ensemble is inspired by the fashion of the 13th century as depicted in the Westminster Psalter's Harley MS 928 on folio page 119v. Handcolored by Strutt himself, every detail comes to life through delicate strokes that enhance the richness of this historic scene. As we gaze upon this artwork from our private collection today, we are transported back to a time when kings ruled with grace and splendor. It serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy left behind by those who wore such magnificent garments centuries ago. Bridgeman Images presents us with yet another masterpiece that captures not only the beauty but also the cultural significance embedded within historical dress and costume design. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past as they offer insight into British history while celebrating European artistry at its finest.
