1. Title: "Majestic Splendor: A Regal Portrait of Queen Margaret of France in the Reign of King Edward I" This handcoloured lithograph showcases the elegant attire of Queen Margaret of France, believed to have been inspired by the dresses of the court during the reign of King Edward I, also known as Longshanks. The image, created in 1840 by the renowned London-based printmakers Dickinson & Son, is a testament to the intricate and luxurious fashion of the medieval period. The queen is depicted wearing a stunning ensemble consisting of a green mantle draped over a purple dress, which is, in turn, layered over a white petticoat. The rich hues of the fabric, combined with the delicate embroidery and intricate jeweled details, evoke the opulence and grandeur of the royal court. The queen's headdress is a breathtaking sight, adorned with an array of precious jewels that sparkle brilliantly against the dark background. This exquisite headpiece adds an air of regal sophistication to the portrait, emphasizing the queen's status and power. The design of this dress was influenced by various historical sources, including the Sloane manuscript, "Lay of Syr Launfal," the Royal manuscript, "Roman de la Rose," and the writings of Pennant. These texts provide valuable insights into the fashion trends of the time, allowing the artists at Dickinson & Son to create an authentic and captivating representation of medieval royal attire. This beautiful lithograph is a precious piece of historical art, offering a glimpse into the fashion and elegance of the medieval period. It serves as a reminder of the rich and complex history of British royalty and the enduring allure of the past.
