1. Title: A Lady in Waiting to Eleanor of Portugal, Holy Roman Empress: A Glimpse into 15th-Century Fashion This handcolored illustration, drawn and lithographed by Paul Mercuri with text by Camille Bonnard, presents a Lady in Waiting to Eleanor of Portugal, the Holy Roman Empress. The image, taken from "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries," published by Levy Fils, Paris, in 1860, offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and elegance of the 15th century. The Lady in Waiting is depicted wearing an intricately designed ensemble, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the era. The base of her outfit consists of a high-necked blouse, which is fitted at the waist with a corset, accentuating her figure. Over the blouse, she wears a voluminous taffeta dress, adorned with delicate floral patterns and intricate embroidery. The dress features a fitted bodice and a full, flowing skirt, which is gathered at the waist and falls gracefully to the ground. The Lady in Waiting completes her ensemble with a cape, which is draped elegantly over her shoulders. The cape, made of the same rich taffeta fabric as the dress, is adorned with fringes and intricate embroidery, adding an air of sophistication and luxury to her appearance. The illustration is reminiscent of the frescoes by Pinturicchio and Raphael, showcasing the influence of Italian art on European fashion during this period. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant colors of the illustration bring the Lady in Waiting and her elegant attire to life, transporting us back in time to the splendor of the 15th century. This image offers a unique insight into the fashion and style of the time, and serves as a testament to the enduring allure of historical costumes and the artistry of the past.
