EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored engraving, titled 'Lady and Pageboy of the Reign of Henry IV, 1411-1422,' is a stunning illustration of the fashion and courtly life during the early 15th century in England. The image, drawn by Charles Martin and expertly etched by his brother Leopold, is a meticulous reproduction of the original costume designs derived from various sources, including tapestries, monumental effigies, illuminated manuscripts, and portraits. The central figures of the composition are a noble lady and her pageboy, both elegantly attired in the fashion of the era. The lady, dressed in a voluminous gown of rich damask fabric, is adorned with a fur-lined mantle, a jeweled headdress, and a pair of elegant gloves. Her graceful posture and serene expression convey an air of refinement and sophistication, reflecting the high standards of the English court during the reign of Henry IV. The pageboy, standing beside his mistress, is dressed in the livery of the royal household, with a short tunic, hose, and a cap adorned with a badge. His expression is attentive and respectful, reflecting the important role he plays in the household and the courtly etiquette of the time. The intricate details of the costumes, the textures of the fabrics, and the delicate shading of the engraving all contribute to the authenticity and historical accuracy of this image. The Martin brothers' masterful technique and their dedication to preserving the fashion and history of their native land make this print an invaluable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the rich tapestry of English history.
