EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 12th century, showcasing a Norman costume influenced by the Crusades. The image is part of a collection titled "British Costume during 19 Centuries" by Mrs Charles H Ashdown, published in London in 1910. In this particular illustration, we see a female figure adorned in an intricately designed dress that reflects the militaristic fashion trends of the time. The woman wears a hood or hoodie reminiscent of chain-mail head-coverings worn by soldiers during the Crusades. This demonstrates how religious conflicts had a profound impact on women's headdresses and overall attire. The attention to detail in this artwork transports us to medieval England, where Christianity played a significant role in shaping both clothing styles and societal norms. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and nostalgia to the image, emphasizing its historical significance. Emily Jessie Ashdown, whose name appears as the creator of this print alongside Unknown (creator), has beautifully captured not only the essence of Norman fashion but also provides insight into how religion influenced people's lives during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Heritage Images' collection, we are reminded of our rich cultural heritage and how clothing can serve as a window into our past.
