EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century offers a glimpse into the mourning habits of the 14th century in England. The image, part of a private collection, showcases the somber attire worn by men and women during this period of grief and loss. Intricately detailed, the print depicts individuals clad in black garments, reflecting their sorrow and respect for the deceased. Men are seen wearing long cloaks with hoods, while women don flowing dresses adorned with headdresses. These mourning clothes were not only a symbol of bereavement but also served as a way to honor and remember those who had passed away. The engraving is an illustration for Joseph Strutt's book "Dress and Habits of the People of England" published in 1842. Its contemporary hand coloring adds depth and vibrancy to each figure portrayed. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this artwork provides valuable insights into medieval English fashion during times of mourning. It highlights how clothing played a significant role in expressing emotions and cultural customs surrounding death in Britain during that era. With its historical significance and artistic beauty, this print serves as a window into both English history and European funeral traditions. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people found ways to commemorate their loved ones through dress and rituals associated with grief.
