EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts a noblewoman of the reign of King Edward VI, dressed in an elegant attire reflecting the fashion trends of the time. The dress, made of rich velvet, features a round collar adorned with pearls, open puff sleeves, and a jeweled belt that cinches the waist. Atop her head, she wears a velvet hat with a decorative trim, adding a regal touch to her ensemble. King Edward VI, who ruled England from 1547 to 1553, was known for his progressive policies and the promotion of humanist ideas. During his reign, fashion underwent significant changes, with a shift towards simpler, more elegant designs. This dress is a testament to the refined taste and opulence of the era. The image is taken from "Costumes of British Ladies from the Time of William the First to the Reign of Queen Victoria," a comprehensive collection of historical costumes published in London by Dickinson & Son in 1840. The lithograph is based on various historical sources, including the works of Pedro de Gante, Stow, and Hollingshed, and the famous portrait of Elizabeth I when she was a princess. This beautiful artwork not only showcases the intricacies of Tudor-era fashion but also provides a glimpse into the rich history of British royalty. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant colors of the handcoloured lithograph make it a valuable addition to any collection of historical art or costume studies.
