EDITORS COMMENTS
The Emperor Justinian, depicted in a captivating print from 1924, transports us back to the grandeur of Byzantine Europe. Created by Herbert Norris for his renowned book 'Costume & Fashion - The Evolution of European Dress Through the Earlier Ages', this illustration captures the essence of a powerful ruler who shaped history. Justinian I, also known as Justinian the Great, ruled over Byzantium in the 6th century. In this striking portrait, he is portrayed on horseback, dressed in an elaborate tunic that signifies his royal status. With reins firmly grasped in one hand and a commanding expression on his face, he exudes authority and strength. The circular inset adds a decorative touch to the composition while emphasizing Justinian's importance within European history. The monochrome aesthetic enhances the timeless quality of this image, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. Norris' meticulous attention to detail brings forth every intricate element of Justinian's attire and regalia. From his majestic horse to the fine craftsmanship of his clothing, each aspect contributes to our understanding of Byzantine culture during this era. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, we are reminded not only of Justinian's reign but also how fashion has evolved throughout centuries. This snapshot into ancient times serves as a testament to human creativity and ingenuity across continents.
