EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in the mid-15th century, showcasing Margaret, Queen of Henry VI, and her court. Created by artist Henry Shaw in 1843, this image depicts Margaret of Anjou and her ladies engaged in prayer. The woman standing behind the queen is believed to be the Duchess of Buckingham. The scene originates from a tapestry located in St Mary's Hall, Coventry. Intricately detailed and richly colored, this illustration comes from "Dresses and Decorations of the Middle Ages from the Seventh to the Seventeenth Centuries" by Henry Shaw. It offers a glimpse into medieval fashion and religious practices during that era. The women are seen fervently praying with psalters and prayer books at an intricately adorned altar. Their elegant dresses reflect their royal status while also showcasing the fashion trends of the time. Each lady-in-waiting wears unique headdresses that add to their regal appearance. This portrait not only highlights Margaret's role as queen consort but also emphasizes her devotion to Christianity. It serves as a reminder of both religious customs and courtly life during this period. With its historical significance and artistic beauty, this print transports viewers back to the fifteenth century, offering a window into an enchanting world filled with royalty, faith, and intricate tapestries.
