EDITORS COMMENTS
This hauntingly beautiful lithograph captures the image of Blanche de la Tour, daughter of Edward III, as a young woman after her untimely death in 1342. The delicate features and elegant posture of the figure evoke a sense of grace and nobility befitting her royal lineage.
The monument in St Edward's Chapel in Westminster serves as a poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of life, with Blanche forever immortalized in stone. The intricate details of her costume and hairstyle reflect the fashion trends of the time, adding to the historical significance of this piece.
Published in "Costumes civils d'Angleterre depuis la conquete a nos jours" in 1842, this engraving by Charles Martin and Leopold Martin captures not just an individual but also a snapshot of English society during the Middle Ages. The veiled woman depicted here exudes elegance and sophistication, embodying the ideals of aristocracy.
As we gaze upon this portrait, we are transported back to a time when England was ruled by kings and queens, knights roamed the land, and chivalry was held in high regard. Blanche de la Tour may have been taken from this world too soon, but through art like this print, her memory lives on for generations to come.
