EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite examples of the houppelande, a voluminous robe popular in the 14th century. The image, taken from British Costume during 19 Centuries by Mrs Charles H Ashdown in 1910, transports us back to the late reign of Richard II. In this snapshot of medieval fashion, we see two men donning these opulent garments. The figure on the left stands tall wearing a houppelande with a high collar and fur edging that frames his face elegantly. His sleeves are richly dagged, adding an intricate touch to his attire. The attention to detail captured in this photograph is truly remarkable. Every fold and contour of these robes speaks volumes about the craftsmanship and artistry prevalent during that era. It offers us a glimpse into England's sartorial history and highlights how clothing played an essential role in expressing one's status and identity. Emily Jessie Ashdown, the creator behind this stunning print, has masterfully immortalized these timeless pieces through her lens. Her work allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the cultural significance of medieval fashion. As we gaze upon this monochromatic masterpiece, we can't help but be transported back in time – marveling at how something as simple as clothing can tell such a rich story about our past.
