EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back in time to the mid-14th century in England, where the elegance and intricacy of medieval fashion are on full display. The woman in the foreground wears a cote-hardie, a fitted, open-fronted gown with long tippets that trail behind her. Over this, she has buttoned a kirtle, a close-fitting underdress, extending to cover her hands. Her attire is further adorned with an ornamental fillet, a diadem-like headband, and a veil that falls over her shoulders and is secured with plaits coiled over her ears. The man in the background dons a mantle, a cloak with a lining that can be worn open or fastened at the front, and a fur-lined hood. He also wears a houppelande, a long, loose-fitting gown, girdled at the waist with a belt, and carries a pouch. This ensemble reflects the grandeur and opulence of the medieval nobility. This evocative print, dating from 1365 to 1376, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of English history. The intricate details of the clothing, from the delicate tippets to the voluminous mantles, reveal the craftsmanship and artistry of the period. This image serves as a testament to the enduring allure of medieval fashion and the captivating stories it tells about the people and culture of the time.
