EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the mid-12th century, showcasing Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou. The image beautifully captures his regal presence and aristocratic attire. Geoffrey, father of King Henry II, is depicted wearing a Phrygian cap atop his head, symbolizing his status as a nobleman. His mantle is lined with luxurious fur, adding an air of opulence to his ensemble. The count's clothing consists of a close-fitting super-tunic layered over a long tunic that gracefully reaches the ground. This traditional medieval attire reflects the fashion trends of the time and emphasizes Geoffrey's position in society. In one hand, he holds a formidable sword while grasping a shield in the other - clear indicators of his involvement in warfare and battles for power during this tumultuous period in history. These weapons serve as reminders of both strength and authority. Emily Jessie Ashdown skillfully captured this moment from British Costume during 19 Centuries by Mrs Charles H Ashdown in 1910. Her attention to detail transports us back to an era filled with chivalry and political intrigue. Through this photo print, we are given a glimpse into the life of Geoffrey Plantagenet - an influential figure who played a significant role in shaping medieval Europe.
