EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Joseph Strutt takes us back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the lives of a falconer and a dandy. The scene depicts the falconer delicately removing a hood from his majestic bird of prey, while the dandy stands nearby in his fashionable attire. The attention to detail in this handcoloured engraving is remarkable, showcasing the intricate lace collar, doublet, pink breeches, hose, and garters worn by the dandy. These garments were inspired by Robert Burton's "Anatomy of Melancholy" from 1621. Strutt's work was part of his larger project titled "Complete View of the Dress and Habits of the People of England" published in London in 1842. This particular print was sourced from "The Emblems of Thomas Palmer" manuscript and captures not only fashion but also elements from John Armin's comedy play "The Two Maids of Moore Clacke". As we admire this piece, we are transported to an era where fashion played an essential role in self-expression. It offers us insight into both social classes represented here – one engaged with nature through falconry and another focused on personal style. This enchanting print serves as a reminder that art has always been a window into different periods throughout history. It allows us to appreciate how people lived centuries ago and how their choices shaped their identities within society.
