EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the extravagant fashions of the 14th century in England, as depicted in the manuscripts "Origine de Lusignan" and "Histoire d'Alexandre," housed in the British Museum. The scene illustrates the marriage of Raymondin and Meluisine, with three individuals prominently displayed. The woman on the left, Meluisine, is adorned with an elaborate headdress shaped like a pair of horns, a distinctive feature of the 14th century. The woman on the right, dressed in a long, flowing robe, is believed to represent Queen Isabella of France, who was a prominent figure during the reign of King Henry V. The man in the center, wearing a huge cap and long-sleeved robe, is likely a nobleman of the time. Another man, dressed in a wide scarlet robe, is thought to represent a courtier during the reign of King Richard II. This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Thomas Anthony Day and J.H. Dines, offers a fascinating glimpse into the opulent and intricately designed clothing of the 14th century in England. The intricate details of the fabrics, patterns, and accessories provide a window into the rich history and culture of the time, making this image a valuable resource for those studying medieval fashion and history.
