EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored engraving, titled 'Male Fashion from the Reign of Richard III, 1483-1485,' is a captivating illustration of male attire during the late 15th century in England. Drawn by Charles Martin and etched by Leopold Martin, this exquisite work of art was published in Henry Bohn's 'Civil Costume of England from the Conquest to the Present Period' in 1842. The Martins, sons of the renowned romantic artist and mezzotint engraver John Martin, meticulously created this illustration based on various sources, including tapestries, monumental effigies, illuminated manuscripts, and portraits. The image showcases a nobleman dressed in a long-sleeved, scarlet tunic, which was a popular choice for the upper class during Richard III's reign. The tunic is adorned with intricate gold embroidery, adding an air of opulence and sophistication. The man wears a girdle around his waist, which was a common accessory during this period. His stockings are also visible, pulled up to just below the knee, and are held up by garters. The attention to detail in this illustration is remarkable, from the intricate patterns on the tunic to the realistic textures of the fabric and the man's facial features. The use of handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a stunning representation of male fashion during the reign of Richard III. This illustration is an invaluable resource for those studying the history of fashion and costume in England during the late Middle Ages. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the elegance and craftsmanship of the clothing worn by the nobility during this period.
