EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 15th century and experience the grandeur and elegance of the Bourgogne region in this image. The man, dressed in a very short houppelande or jacket, is a testament to the fashion trends of the time. His attire features dagged epaulettes and hanging sleeves, adding an air of sophistication and opulence. The parti-colored hose and piked shoes complete his ensemble, while a bandeau adorns his forehead. The woman in this photograph exudes an ethereal beauty with her hennin and veil headdress. The hennin, a tall, conical hat, was a popular choice among the nobility during the late 15th century. The voluminous gown and under-kirtle are intricately detailed, with layers of fabric and intricate stitching. An aigrette, a decorative ornament made from the feathers of a crane, adds a touch of elegance to her headdress. The steeple-shaped folly and the bells hanging from the cracowes, or long, pointed shoes, add to the gothic charm of the scene. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the 15th century, providing a fascinating look into the fashion and lifestyle of the time. The intricate details of the costumes, from the dagged epaulettes to the voluminous gowns, are a testament to the craftsmanship and creativity of the era. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, is an essential addition to any collection of medieval history or fashion.
