EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a magnificent dress worn by Queen Elizabeth I during her reign from 1558 to 1603. The dress is depicted in a handcoloured lithograph from the collection "Costumes of British Ladies from the Time of William the First to the Reign of Queen Victoria," published in London by Dickinson & Son in 1840. Elizabeth's regal attire features a rich purple hat adorned with precious jewels and elegant feathers, which adds an air of grandeur and sophistication. The hat is balanced atop her head with a delicate ribbon, securing it in place. The queen's red gown, which is adorned with intricate puffed and slit sleeves, is a testament to the opulence and intricacy of Tudor fashion. The dress is further enhanced with a lace collar and cuffs, adding a delicate and feminine touch to the ensemble. The woodcut used as the basis for this lithograph is believed to have originated from the "Strutts Habits" collection at the Society of Antiquaries. The meticulous attention to detail in the lithograph allows us to appreciate the intricacies of Elizabethan fashion, providing a glimpse into the rich history of British royalty. The dress, with its stunning combination of purple, red, and gold, is a symbol of the power and wealth of the Tudor monarchy. The use of jewels and feathers on the hat further emphasizes the queen's status as a monarch and a fashion icon. This image is not only a beautiful representation of Elizabethan fashion but also a valuable historical record of the opulence and elegance of the Tudor court.
