This print takes us back in time to the early Norman period, specifically to the year 1066 when Britain was forever changed by the Norman Conquest. The image showcases a pair of stockings and boots that were worn during this significant era in English history. The attention to detail is remarkable, allowing us to admire the craftsmanship of these medieval footwear pieces. The stockings are intricately woven, highlighting their importance as an essential part of clothing for both men and women at that time. Paired with sturdy leather boots, they provided comfort and protection while traversing the rugged terrain of 11th-century England. Emily Jessie Ashdown's illustration from her book "British Costume during 19 Centuries" offers a glimpse into the fashion trends prevalent during this period. It serves as a valuable resource for historians and costume enthusiasts alike who seek to understand how people dressed centuries ago. As we gaze upon this monochrome image, we can't help but appreciate Mrs. Ashdown's dedication in preserving such historical artifacts through her work. This print allows us to connect with our ancestors from long ago, reminding us of their daily lives and struggles in a world vastly different from our own. In conclusion, this print transports us back over nine centuries ago when Normans ruled Britannia. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of British fashion and provides insight into how clothing played an integral role in shaping society throughout history.
