EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of Men's clothing in Anglo Saxon times. The shirt, worn directly on the skin, served not only as a garment but also as a nightgown for comfort and warmth. After being washed, the deceased would be clothed once again in a shirt similar to his rank before being wrapped in a shroud until laid to rest. The image captures the solemn ritual of preparing the dead for burial, with the face covered by a handkerchief or sudarium in white, blue, red, or pink hues. This practice reflects the cultural traditions and beliefs surrounding death and afterlife during that era. The hand-colored copper engraving from "Images historiques des costumes des principaux peuples de l'Antiquite et du Middle Ages" by Robert Von Spalart provides us with a glimpse into the fashion and customs of ancient times. Published in 1796, this historical artwork offers valuable insights into how men dressed and were honored even in their final moments. Through this photograph print, we are transported back in time to witness the reverence and care given to those who have passed on - a reminder of our shared humanity across centuries.
